Banking and Finance Law

Our attorneys’ experience in banking and finance law includes advising companies on both equity and debt financing transactions, acquiring financial licenses for companies under the Financial Institutions Act, registrations with the Guyana Securities Council, drafting and preparing legal documentation for financing needs. Our attorneys also have experience with this in other Caribbean jurisdictions, including Trinidad and Tobago, where they have worked to structure mutual funds and advise banks on financing transactions.

Civil Litigation | Alternative Dispute Resolution

We handle all aspects of the Civil Litigation process in Guyana under the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) 2016, and continue older matters under the former Rules of the Supreme Court (RSC). We file statements of claim, defences, counterclaims, replies, notices of application and all other documentation to take you step by step through the civil litigation process. We can also settle matters on your behalf or refer them to arbitration or mediation and represent you at same. We have handled multi-million US dollar claims and have represented some of the largest companies in Guyana, including Precious Metals Mines, Guyana Shore Base Inc, John Fernandes Ltd and many more over our decades of experience.
