Our Cayman Islands Corporate and Regulatory teams acted for members of the NCB Financial Group on a strategic intra-group restructure which represents a key step for the Group in optimising its corporate structure to support sustainable growth and long-term performance.

The transaction involves the sale of NCB Financial Group Limited’s (“NCBFG”) wholly-owned subsidiaries, NCB (Cayman) Limited and NCB Trust Company (Cayman) Limited, to its Bermuda-based banking subsidiary Clarien Bank Limited. Completion of the sale was announced on 31 August 2026, following the receipt of requisite regulatory approvals.

The deal is anticipated to enhance the Group’s operational efficiency and consolidate its offshore wealth and investment capabilities under the Clarien brand. The Cayman operation is expected to be rebranded Clarien Bank and Investments Limited.

Our Corporate team was led by Partners Tom McLaughlin and Catherine Pham, supported by Associate Paris Goode and Articled Clerk Lissette Williams-Fernandez. Specialist financial services regulatory advice was provided by Partner Sara Galletly and her team.

“We were pleased to support our clients on this important strategic internal realignment. This is a great example of the way our corporate and regulatory experts are able to closely collaborate to provide integrated advice on complex cross-border share and asset-sale transactions, particularly those involving regulated financial services businesses.”
