Conyers

What Conyers does

Conyers Dill & Pearman is a privately held offshore law firm founded in Bermuda in 1928, operating as the first international law firm in both Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands and one of the leading practitioners across Bermuda, BVI, and Cayman law. The firm provides an integrated suite of legal advisory (corporate, capital markets, M&A, finance, insurance, investment funds, dispute resolution) and fiduciary/client services (corporate administration, trust services, AML compliance, economic substance, listing services, family office) delivered through seven offices — Bermuda (HQ), BVI, Cayman, Hong Kong, London, Singapore, and Toronto (Codan Canada Inc., a wholly owned technology and operations subsidiary).

The firm's revenue model is professional services fee-based: legal advisory billed by matter and fiduciary work billed as recurring corporate administration, directorship, and trust mandates. Client segments split between enterprise (global corporates, banks, insurers, asset managers) and private wealth (HNW families, with reported 40+ year tenures). The firm has begun embedding AI tools for legal research, document review, contract analysis, and drafting under attorney supervision, and has launched three proprietary digital eTools (BVI and Cayman Investment Funds Navigators, BVI Economic Substance Calculator) that signal incremental productization of its regulatory expertise.

Conyers is led by Chairman and Director Christian R. Luthi and appears to operate under traditional partner ownership with no disclosed parent company, private equity investment, or institutional investor. The firm does not publicly disclose financial figures.
