Areas of Practice
Civil & Criminal Litigation
We offer the highest levels of representation to our clients from the Resident Magistrate Court through to the Privy Council. We endeavour always to do our professional best in the handling of our cases, which includes thorough research and legal opinions, as well as careful and strategic execution of all matters.
Conveyancing & Real Estate
It is very important to have an attorney assist you in the purchase or sale of real estate in Jamaica. We will help you to determine if the party selling the land has the right to do so, or if there are factors that might prevent you from obtaining a mortgage or re-selling the property. We will guide you through the entire transaction
Estate Planning, Probate & Administration
Our experienced practitioners offer a variety of legal services to help you plan and manage your estate. We can assist with drafting and interpreting wills, handling both non-contentious and contentious applications for grants of probate and letters of administration, and administering estates. In addition, we can provide guidance on creating living wills, setting up trusts, and drafting powers of attorney and enduring powers of attorney. Whatever your estate planning needs may be, our team is here to help you navigate the process with confidence and peace of mind.
Corporate & Commercial
Understanding contracts and how they protect you is very important for individuals and corporations alike. If you are an investor, small business operator or a corporate executive we will help you to maneuver the complexities of corporate operations and the obligations of principals, shareholders, employees and other interests. We also incorporate companies and provide guidance in the process of establishing new companies.
Family Law
Family law deals with matters such as marriages, civil and domestic unions, divorce, spousal abuse, child abuse, custody of children, annulment, alimony and property settlement, among others. We can offer advice and act where necessary to ensure that your interests are secured, in both local and transnational cases.
Entertainment & Sports
If you are involved in the entertainment or sports industries you may require legal advice on contracts, work permits, right of publicity etc. These industries are becoming more regulated in Jamaica and there are laws in place, which if not observed, can have significant financial and legal ramifications. Our practice in this area covers employment and labour, immigration, securities and insurance and the management of individuals.
Immigration
We have experience dealing with cases that involve breaches of the Aliens Act, the Immigration Restriction (Commonwealth Citizens) Act and the Foreign Nations and Commonwealth Citizens (Employment) Act. Our immigrations services are also for persons interested in migrating to the United States of America, the United Kingdom and to Jamaica.
Tax
Our role is mainly consultative in this area of our practice. However, in cases where litigation is required we have the experience to protect the interests of our clients and to work out reduced settlement of these cases with the Tax Administration Department.
