You can tell the quality of the work at Lex Caribbean by the company the firm keeps. Its broad expertise across capital markets, banking, M&A and restructuring has led to onshore relationships with firms like the UK's Allen & Overy and Slaughter and May, as well as Fasken Martineau in Canada. Acting from offices in Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago, Lex Caribbean has established itself as a regional presence and a committed partner in international transactions.
Melanie Jones, director of the firm's offshore practice, possesses a wealth of experience, including previous appointments at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in London and Maples and Calder in the Cayman Islands.
Lex Caribbean was particularly active in the banking sector last year, and returning client Scotiabank hired the firm as local counsel in June 2009. In co-operation with Fasken Martineau, Lex Caribbean handled domestic aspects of a deal involving Minefinders Corporation, securing financing and the security of assets involving its Barbados subsidiary. Lex Caribbean again advised Scotiabank during Silver Wheaton's acquisition of Silverstone Resources.
