Firm profile:

Glinton Sweeting O'Brien is a full service boutique law firm specializing in financial services (including private wealth management structures and estate planning), real estate and resort development and commercial litigation. Its clientele consists of high net worth individuals, domestic and international financial institutions, hotel and resort developers and international law and accounting firms based in Europe, North America and Latin America.

The firm's continued expansion and involvement in several major projects have earned it the praise of its clients and competitors. Of particular note is the firm's role as the principal legal advisors to the Albany Project, a US$1.5 Billion luxury mixed-use resort community in the Southwest of the island of New Providence currently in an advanced stage of development. The Tavistock Group, Tiger Woods and Ernie Els are notable principals behind this project.

Messrs. Bryan Glinton and Andrew O'Brien are well respected in their respective disciplines of financial services and real estate. The firm's litigation partner, Roy Sweeting, has also excelled in his field of practice, having recently won a substantial judgment for one of the firm's clients at Her Majesty's Privy Council in London, The Bahamas's highest court.
The firm continues to grow and to enhance its ability to provide timely, accurate and forward-thinking advice to its clients.
