Our relationships with our clients are characterised not only by our grasp of the relevant laws, but also by an understanding of the local and wider international environment in which our clients do business. We also have an appreciation of the unique issues faced by each client, an appreciation that is drawn from our involvement in a diverse range of company transactions, buttressed by our intense desire to see the world the way our clients see it.

Tourism is a significant area of foreign direct investment for Jamaica. We will advise you of the legislation affecting the operation and development of Jamaica’s hospitality and tourism businesses and can advise operators of hotels, clubs, restaurants and other licensed venues across Jamaica. With a strong commercial background, our team is uniquely placed to advise clients on all aspects relating to this industry, while devising solutions that are commercially viable.
