Conyers Dill & Pearman

What Conyers Dill & Pearman does

Conyers Dill & Pearman is a global offshore law firm founded in 1928 in Bermuda, where it was the first offshore law firm established. The firm is headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda and operates from seven locations — Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, London, Singapore, and a Toronto operations support office (Codan Canada Inc., established 2009) — providing time-zone coverage across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. The firm is privately held under a partnership structure with no parent company and no external institutional investors, led by Director and Chairman Christian R. Luthi. Its staff headcount is in the 251-500 range, including 90+ corporate lawyers, 80+ M&A lawyers, and 30+ dispute resolution practitioners physically located in the offshore jurisdictions where it practices.

The firm's service portfolio spans legal services and fiduciary services under one integrated offering. Legal services cover Corporate (Capital Markets, M&A, Corporate Recovery & Restructuring, Fintech & Digital Assets), Finance (Aviation, Collateralized Loan Obligations, Fund Finance, Shipping, Structured Finance & Securitization), Insurance & Reinsurance (including ILS and catastrophe bonds), Investment Funds (hedge, private equity, venture capital), Dispute Resolution & Insolvency (Arbitration, Commercial Litigation, Fraud & Asset Tracing, Fund Disputes, Asia Disputes, Insolvency), Intellectual Property, Employment & Immigration, Family & Matrimonial Law, and Private Client & Trust. Conyers Client Services provides fiduciary services including corporate administration, trust services, registered offices, directorships, company secretarial, listing services, and regulatory compliance (economic substance, AML, FATCA/CRS). The firm does not develop proprietary technology platforms; service delivery relies on practitioner expertise in the laws of Bermuda, BVI, and Cayman Islands.

The revenue model is professional services — billable legal services charged on hourly rates and fixed fee arrangements depending on matter complexity — combined with managed recurring fees from the Client Services fiduciary business. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct client engagements, with business development supported by thought leadership, industry publications, conference speaking, and long-standing client relationships. Target clients are global corporations (FTSE 100 and Fortune 500), financial institutions, insurance and reinsurance companies, investment funds (hedge, PE, VC), and high-net-worth individuals. Representative recent mandates include Einride's $1.35 billion SPAC business combination and Nasdaq listing, Carnival Corporation's redomiciliation to Bermuda, Avolon's US$850 million private offering, Merna Re Enterprise II's US$1.5 billion catastrophe bond, and Assured Guaranty's US$158 million acquisition. The firm does not publicly disclose revenue.
