Aceris Law’s Bahamas Arbitration Lawyers Desk is a dedicated team of lawyers at Aceris Law, a specialised international arbitration law firm, which accompanies clients involved in arbitrations concerning Bahamas, i.e., where law of Bahamas applies, a contract is executed in Bahamas, the dispute is brought by or against a party in Bahamas, or the Bahamian State or a Bahamian State entity is involved.

Aceris Law’s Harvard, Oxford and Sorbonne trained lawyers are admitted to bars of Western Europe, Eastern Europe and North America and have significant prior experience dealing with commercial, construction and investment treaty arbitrations under the ICC, ICSID, UNCITRAL, LCIA, SCC, SIAC, ICDR, VIAC and other arbitration rules, many of which have concerned the Bahamas or neighbouring States.

We can meet clients directly in Nassau, although our home office is in Geneva, Switzerland, and we are always accessible to clients, regardless of their location, by videoconference. Our Bahamas Arbitration Lawyers Desk has access to domestic jurisprudence and doctrine, while speaking English and multiple other languages.

Our Bahamas Arbitration Lawyers Desk maintains ties to the best domestic Bahamian lawyers, who are involved depending on the specific needs of a given arbitration. This ensures that our clients obtain the best arbitration legal representation while also maintaining cost-effectiveness for arbitrations involving Bahamas.

We have significant prior experience with arbitrations involving the Bahamas. We have drafted legal opinions on disputes involving parties from the Bahamas, and we have served as counsel in both commercial and ICSID arbitrations involving neighbouring States. For example, Aceris Law’s Bahamas Arbitration Lawyers Desk provided legal advice in the pre-arbitration phase for American investors concerning the expropriation of real estate under the Central American Free Trade Agreement CAFTA.

By having a dedicated team for arbitrations concerning Bahamas, Aceris Law ensures that the arbitrations involving Bahamas are handled efficiently, making the best use of our arbitration lawyers’ know-how as well as linguistic and cultural skills, which are important for a successful outcome of an international arbitration.
