OffshoreAlert has announced the program for the 11th Annual OffshoreAlert Conference North America, which will take place at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach in Miami Beach, Florida on May 5-7, 2013.

If you're involved in international finance, you know how difficult and time-consuming it is to stay on top of frequently-changing regulations, laws, product-lines, and customer-trends. If you want to simplify the process, I recommend checking out the OffshoreAlert Conference. 

The OffshoreAlert Conference is an international event that analyzes all material aspects that affect individuals and corporations conducting business in or through Offshore Financial Centers. 

At a premier ocean-side venue in one of the world's most exciting entertainment districts, you will combine education and networking by hearing from and mingling with 300 attendees from more than two dozen countries who are buyers, providers, and investigators of offshore products and services.

By far and away the most diverse event on offshore matters, both in terms of the breadth of topics that will be covered and the number of countries that send attendees, the 2013 Miami Conference will look at: 

• Customer Trends: Where is the new money coming from & what products and services are clients most interested in? 
• Product & Services: How do they work & how can they help me? 
• International Regulations: What laws and rules must I comply with & how can I meet my legal obligations? 
• Financial Due Diligence: How to identify red flags in offshore transactions. 
• Fraud & Asset Recovery: If things go bad, what are my remedies?  

Highlighted sessions for this event include:  

• The Modern Offshore World: Trends & Developments 
• Evaluating OFCs: Which Are Best & Why? 
• Inside Cayman's Hedge Fund Industry: Jumbo Directors & Other Issues 
• Navigating The Regulation Nightmare in Offshore Transactions 
• How To Identify Red Flags In The Offshore World 
• If An Offshore Investment Fails, Who Can Be Sued, For What & Where?  
• Ex-IRS Offshore Head Dan Reeves on Offshore Tax Investigations 

Anyone operating in the offshore world that does not keep abreast of these developments will be at a disadvantage.  

I look forward to seeing you in Miami Beach.

Warm regards,

Naomi

OffshoreAlert has completed the backdating of its coverage of actions filed at the Financial Services Division of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands back to the first case ever heard in the specialist court on November 2, 2009. OffshoreAlert subscribers now have unlimited access to all of those actions, which are otherwise accessible through manual retrieval at the courthouse. (Not a current subscriber? Learn more here.)

Except where a case has been sealed by the court or is otherwise unavailable, OffshoreAlert has copies of each writ, petition, summons, or other initial filing, all of which can be searched from our website using our 'Search Box' or from our Grand Court of the Cayman Islands web page.

"The Cayman Islands is one of OffshoreAlert's most important jurisdictions," said David Marchant, Publisher of OffshoreAlert. "It is one of the world's leading international financial centers, particularly in the areas of banking and hedge funds, and a significant amount of business is transacted there involving major businesses and high net worth individuals located all around the world."

The first action ever dealt with by the financial court was a petition for the liquidation of Laurus Offshore Fund, Ltd. to continue under the supervision of the Court and for Gordon MacRae and G. James Cleaver to be appointed as Joint Official Liquidators.

OffshoreAlert also has copies of many – but not all – initial filings at the Civil Division of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands over the last 18 months. We are continuing to back-date these records in order to offer subscribers more comprehensive coverage.

OffshoreAlert has also started obtaining copies of initial filings at the Commercial and Civil Divisions of the British Virgin Islands High Court, which can also be found in our database.

OffshoreAlert's database now contains details of more than 20,000 civil actions filed at the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, Bermuda Supreme Court or the British Virgin Islands High Court.

We update our records on a regular basis, usually weekly, in order to bring subscribers details of the latest cases.

After many months of development, OffshoreAlert today re-launched its web-site at www.OffshoreAlert.com to offer enhanced features and content for subscribers.

The most significant improvement is that, as of today, OffshoreAlert is a daily provider of articles and documents, publishing news as and when it happens from our web-site.

"In an era that is dominated by technology, it makes no sense to wait to publish information," said OffshoreAlert's publisher, David Marchant. "This is particularly true when it comes to investigations into serious financial crime, which is OffshoreAlert's specialty."

Among the new features and enhancements:

• Daily News & Documents
• All-In-One Searchable Database
• Court Listings in Bermuda, BVI and Cayman
• Download Documents Related to Articles
• View Content by Jurisdiction or Industry
• Customized E-Mail Alerts
• Blogs By Industry Leaders

We've also reduced the subscription price to $60 per month or $720 annually, meaning that subscribers are receiving more information delivered faster for less money.

All subscribers have unlimited access to all of OffshoreAlert's content, which includes over 5,000 articles and over 5,500 documents, more than 1,300 of which are requests for judicial assistance filed under Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties.

Our content is aimed at three distinctive groups: Providers, Buyers and Investigators of offshore products and services.

As a result of the improvements, OffshoreAlert and InsideBermuda will no longer be published periodically as 'pdf' files. Instead, the content that normally appears in the newsletters must be viewed at www.OffshoreAlert.com.

If anyone has questions or requires further details, please visit www.OffshoreAlert.com, send an email to sales@offshorealert.com or call +1 305-372-6296 .
