Spotlight On: Rawlinson & Hunter

Rawlinson & Hunter is one of the leading professional services firms on Grand Cayman, providing a broad range of services to local and offshore clients including trustee and corporate services, fund fiduciary services, restructuring and corporate recovery services and accounting services, encompassing fund administration services to private funds.

Established in Cayman in 1973, Rawlinson & Hunter is part of a group of professional firms with 11 offices globally, providing clients with additional resources and expertise in areas ranging from tax to audit. The Cayman Islands office has 81 employees and has been headquartered in the Windward 1 Building of Regatta Office Park since 2010.

Originally based in George Town, when the firm outgrew their original space they considered a variety of options before ultimately deciding to make the move to Regatta. “The Regatta office space was a nice opportunity to completely renovate a space that was large enough to accommodate each department and that also had green space, ample parking and proximity to lots of restaurants and facilities for our employees. Our visitors and clients are well served, with high-quality hotels and conference facilities close by,” remarked Nicola Martyn, Senior Manager of Operations at Rawlinson & Hunter.

While the Cayman Islands financial services industry has experienced fluctuations in line with global trends, the jurisdiction remains the world’s most popular domicile for hedge funds and there has been an unprecedented increase in overseas registered companies. The jurisdiction’s solid infrastructure, stability of government and attractive regulatory regime ensures its place as one of the world’s leading financial centres. Rawlinson & Hunter has benefited from this stability, seeing significant growth in their business over the last eight years. Ms. Martyn attributes this growth to the firm’s ability to morph and adapt to the ever-evolving industry and regulatory changes in order to meet the changing needs of their clients.
