Our expertise includes:
Insolvency and restructuring can be complex and stressful. We support you through the process, providing robust guidance while fiercely protecting your interests. Our professionalism and personal commitment ensure we are recognised as market leaders in the region.
The introduction of the International Business Companies Act has increased the need for talented attorneys with substantial expertise in insolvency and restructuring matters.
We act on behalf of receivers, creditors, administrative receivers, directors, trustees in bankruptcy, fiduciary claimants, liquidators, and companies. Whatever your requirement, we have the experience and expertise to deliver.
Members of our team have achieved international renown for their expertise in insolvency and restructuring. Many are sought after speakers at international conferences and respected contributors to leading legal journals. Our team also includes members of INSOL and other prestigious insolvency bodies in the insolvency arena.
We engage in complex cross-border proceedings and advise clients on local insolvency laws and ancillary proceedings with a Bahamian component. Our team is frequently retained by leading international firms in connection with insolvency issues, including securing assets and enforcing judgments in The Bahamas and the British Virgin Islands.
Financial distress can be challenging for all parties. We ensure you have the very best advice and assistance from day one.
Litigation and dispute resolution requires a combination of legal acumen and real-world pragmatism. That’s why you can rely on our team to provide practical solutions to even the most complex problems.
Recommended by Chambers Global as a top tier team, we frequently represent clients in high profile cases in The Bahamas and beyond. Our offices span multiple jurisdictions and we work alongside leading international law firms in cross-border proceedings around the world.
Our litigation specialists have appeared on behalf of bank and trust companies, foreign governments, government agencies, multinational corporations and financial institutions, as well as private clients, domestic companies and individuals. Members of the team appear regularly at First Instance, Court of Appeal and Privy Council level.
Our team is passionate about serving your legal needs and offers expert advice across several key areas.
Real estate is a major contributor to the Bahamian economy. Our highly experienced team can help you to invest wisely in this sought-after market. Whether you are seeking to buy residential or commercial properties, rental units, condominiums, timeshares or vacation homes, we will guide you through every step of the purchase process and related commercial matters.
We offer the complete range of advisory services, including applying for regulatory approvals, negotiating the terms of sale, settling the Agreement for Sale, reviewing the documentary title and closing the transaction.
Our firm is on all approved attorneys listings for each bank. We are therefore authorised to represent clients seeking a mortgage through a local lending institution and provide the bank with an Opinion on Title, as well as drafting the mortgage instrument.
For non-Bahamian clients, our Real Estate Practice Group can support you in preparing and filing an application with the Department of Immigration for a Home Owner’s Resident Card, Annual Residence Permit or a Permanent Residence Permit. We can also ensure the submission of an application to The Bahamas Investments Board to obtain a Permit or Certificate of Registration - a necessary requirement for buying property in The Bahamas, and we offer title insurance through our affiliate company, Resort Title Insurance Agency Limited.
Our practice group has a wealth of experience in representing financial institutions and lender groups in financing development projects in New Providence and the Family Islands. We offer the required legal work for subdivision planning and development, planned residential communities and condominium development.
Notable projects we have advised on include the restructuring of Baha Mar, the refinancing of the Atlantis Resort, the development of One Cable Beach and the acquisition of the One&Only Ocean Club, among others.
