THE BAHAMAS, June 29, 2023 — International law firm ParrisWhittaker announced that Partner Jacy Whittaker had become a member of the Global Team of the Integrated Dispute Management Group (IDMG), a self-sustained global dispute ecosystem that helps 100+ participating firms systematically and efficiently manage conflict, resolve disputes, and strengthen business relationships.

IDMG strives to help companies avoid protracted litigation, keep important projects on track, preserve critical relationships, and minimize legal and internal costs.

Working with 23 other team members drawn from the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Sweden, the Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, China, India, Turkey, Morocco, Kenya, Nigeria, Kuwait, Malta, Albania, Cyprus, the Philippines, and Romania, Whittaker is the sole member of the IDMG Global Team hailing from the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
