Offshore law firm Mourant Ozannes has established a contentious restructuring, insolvency and litigation practice in Hong Kong covering both BVI and Cayman Islands law, after relocating partner Shaun Folpp from the BVI.

Folpp established the firm's BVI litigation and insolvency practice after joining in 2012. In total, he’s spent eight years in the Cayman Islands and the BVI, which included a stint at Ogier. Folpp’s experience includes, among other disputes, advising the liquidators of the Kingate and Weavering funds.

“Shaun's arrival in Hong Kong supports the importance of the Asia market for the firm and the increasing success of our global litigation practice. Our ability to provide litigation advice on the ground in Hong Kong means we can continue to deliver an exceptional client service," said Paul Christopher, Mourant Ozannes’s managing partner, in a statement.
