Baker & Partners in the BVI

We have a core BVI team based in Tortola with in-depth knowledge of BVI law and experience in front of the BVI Commercial and Civil Courts and the Court of Appeal. Our small but robust team of experienced lawyers work to get results for our clients in an efficient and cost-effective manner.  

We also have BVI-admitted lawyers based in Hong Kong, Cayman Islands, Jersey and London ensuring we are able to provide BVI legal advice across timezones. Our lawyers are also admitted in Jamaica and Saint Lucia providing dispute services across the Caribbean having been involved in coordinating litigation in Antigua, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and Anguilla as well as the USA and Canada where they worked closely with local Counsel. 

By not operating an associated trust company, we remain conflict-free and independent.
