 ork which takes an ethnographic approach to the study of Cayman Islands pr
 ofessionals to understand how an offshore financial centre operates from t
 he perspective of the professionals who live and work in them. It offers a
  close-examination of a single jurisdiction\, one that is heavily referred
  to by critics of offshore\, and brings new empirical data based on 13-mon
 ths of fieldwork from a jurisdiction heavily used by some of the largest f
 inancial transactions in the world.\n\nSupported by the Centre for Tax Law
