Who we are
Doing business in the Bahamas is more complex than most people realize. The country is governed by arcane laws and complex systems. There’s also a sea of local politics that outsiders can often find baffling and impenetrable. That’s why so many global and regional businesses look to us to meet their legal and advisory needs.
ParrisWhittaker is a local law firm based in the Bahamas, with partner offices in the Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, and Amsterdam and affiliate offices in Cyprus, Barbados, Jamaica, British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands. With over 70 years of experience and an outstanding track record, the firm operates on a trifold philosophy: Working hard, Working smart, Working to win.
We are especially skilled in the following practice areas
Our commitment to practicing law at the highest standards is what we are most proud to offer our clients. Our intellect is guided by our integrity, and our results speak for themselves.
What people say
"ParrisWhittaker is a professional firm with partners who really care about their clients and their concerns. I will continue to work with them in the future on a national and international level."
- by Marshall Gobuty, Managing Partner at Lago Invest Bahamas
"ParrisWhittaker operated as external legal counsel for URCA and handled certain matters, including two claims from local power and cable companies challenging their regulatory control. ParrisWhittaker was strategic, efficient and saw them through to victory. It’s how they show up for their clients, always."
- by Clara Bell, General Counsel & Board Secretary, Utilities Regulation and Competition Authority (URCA)
"We retained the services of ParrisWhittaker to protect the rights of our company in a high-stake bankruptcy in the Bahamas. The service was excellent and timely. Partners demonstrated great knowledge and professionalism in handling that type of cases and, although the outcome was not what we would have desired, we know that that’s normal in bankruptcy cases. We still have ParrisWhittaker as one of our vendors and retain their services for occasional advisory work."
- by Legal Counsel at Fortune 500 company
"We are pleased to say that we have used the services of the ParrisWhittaker law firm many times before and will willingly speak of the high quality of the professional service received. As such, I would not hesitate to recommend Parris Whittaker to anyone needing legal services. It's been a pleasure."
- by Dudley Powell, Founder at Dudley & Rose Powell
"We had a great experience with Jacy and PW. You helped us navigate the Bahamian legal system in a polite and appropriate manner. Something that could have been extremely confusing to non-Bahamians was made very manageable and understandable. And all the while, Jacy and his team fought hard for us and prevailed with an extremely equitable solution. "
- by Kevin Sheehan Jr., Managing Director at Bahamas Paradise
