Our knowledgeable team offers an unparalleled breadth and depth of experience. Led by Georgia Marshall, who has over 25 years of experience and is the only Bermudian matrimonial attorney who is a member of the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (IAML), our attorneys are considered the “go-to” team in all matters related to matrimonial and family law.  In 2023, Georgia Marshall authored the Bermuda submission to the text, International Trust Law and Divorce Litigation.

Our team regularly provides sound advice on all areas touching on matrimonial and family law matters including divorce, financial settlement between spouses, custody and access issues, maintenance for spouses and children, as well as advice in connection with protecting clients from domestic violence. We are skilled in drafting domestic contracts including pre-nuptial contracts, nuptial settlements and separation agreements.

Our attorneys are experienced and effective advocates who appear in all levels of Court in Bermuda. Our knowledge of the current jurisprudence, sound judgment and strategic approach ensures that our clients’ cases are presented effectively and persuasively.

In addition to outstanding representation, our clients receive thorough legal advice in relation to alternative forms of dispute resolution. We make it a priority to assist our clients in reaching settlement whenever possible, and will provide clear and objective advice to ensure that any agreement is both reasonable and just. This approach assists in reducing costs while also creating an environment where parties can establish a new working relationship with one another.

We provide prompt and efficient service and make ongoing communication a priority. We are sensitive to the difficult and stressful times that our clients are experiencing and do all we can to guide our clients through the difficulties of matrimonial breakdown efficiently and competently.

The Property Team acts in connection with some of the most significant real estate transactions in Bermuda. We regularly represent international and domestic buyers and sellers of Bermuda properties, and have extensive experience assist­ing with res­i­den­tial and com­mer­cial prop­erty acqui­si­tions and sales (free­hold and lease­hold), mort­gages and other prop­erty trans­ac­tions.

Unlike many other Commonwealth jurisdictions, Bermuda operates within a land system that is unregistered. While the procedure of buying, selling or leasing land can be significantly complicated and complex as a result of this system, our skilled and dedicated team will make your land transaction smooth and hassle free.

Our team has developed excellent working relationships with real estate agents, lending institutions, government agencies and the other parties required to make your real estate transaction happen. We pride ourselves on our ability to complete on time and within budget.

If you intend to rent, buy or sell residential or commercial property, we can make your task easier. Our professional experience and knowledge of the residential and commercial markets enables us to offer you extremely useful and insightful advice and assistance.

Our team also regularly provides prac­ti­cal and reli­able advice on com­plex prop­erty issues, and has expertise in guiding development projects through the land assembly, planning, rezoning and development phases.

Our Litigation & Advice Team has a wealth of knowledge and skill to litigate or arbitrate all types of matters, and can provide clients with advice and support on any issue that may arise. We regularly appear in the courts (from the Magistrates’ Court to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council), before administrative and quasi-judicial tribunals and in domestic and international arbitrations. Our lawyers have an established reputation for being strategic, creative, meticulous and passionate.

Before we proceed with court action, our lawyers work hard to provide sound, practical and sensitive advice with a view to resolving disputes efficiently and effectively.  Members of our team have extensive training in negotiation, mediation and arbitration, and our lawyers work hard to reach reasonable and practical solutions before involving the Courts or an arbitration tribunal.

Our highly experienced team also advises on all aspects of corporate and business law. Our lawyers not only have experience in assisting clients with managing routine issues but also in assisting with exciting new business opportunities and developments. Our advice is pro-active, commercial and comprehensive, and we strive to support and protect our clients in the long term.
