Simon Dickson

Partner at Mourant (Cayman Islands)

Speaker

I am a Partner in the Litigation and Insolvency team in our Cayman Islands office with extensive experience in insolvency and restructuring matters, valuation disputes and fraud and asset tracing. I have more experience acting for shareholders in appraisal actions than any other practitioner in the Cayman Islands.

I am instructed by financial institutions in respect of the largest and most complex disputes currently before the Courts.

In the last decade, I have acted in most of the major insolvency matters including Madoff, Sphinx, Belmont and DD Growth and currently act for the creditors in the liquidations of Platinum Partners, the Direct Lending Income Fund and the collapse of the Abraaj Group. I led the team in the Arcapita Bank restructuring and have advised in other high profile matters including Zohar Funds, Luckin Coffee, China Fishery Group, Ocean Rig and Founding Partners. I have also acted for the dissenters in fair value appraisal cases such as Nord Anglia and currently represent a large dissenter group in the appraisal of Sina Corporation.
