The key to our success is in our teamwork, variety of experiences and size. Our attorneys work assiduously together on any given matter. Our clients benefit from a firm small enough to allow easy access to all of our lawyers, including the partners, whilst being large enough to guarantee excellence and an immediate response to all enquiries. When appropriate, we call upon the expertise of other professionals with whom we have an established professional relationship, such as accountants and surveyors.
We currently sit on the panel of Attorneys-at-Law for Jamaica National Building Society and RBTT Bank for which we process mortgage and securities documents among other areas of legal work.
