A Freeport-based law firm has won the Global Law Experts (GLE) award for Commercial Litigation Law Firm of the Year in The Bahamas - 2018.

ParrisWhittaker and its partners, Arthur K Parris, Jacy Whittaker and Kenra Parris-Whittaker, in a statement hailed the award as highlighting their ongoing success.

The GLE decision followed independent research and the input of more than 180,000 members of the global legal community, including bar associations, legal counsel, consultants and others. GLE is an online resource for identifying and recommending legal specialists according to location and expertise.

Jacy Whittaker said: "One of our primary motivators as a small law firm is staying competitive in our industry. Being recognised by our community is not something we take for granted. Being recognised on an international scale is even more encouraging. This award sees us as top of our litigation game, and as the year rolls on we know we'll push even harder to exceed every accomplishment so far."

He added: "A win for us is a win for our country. We cannot truly be considered successful if what we do does not in some way immediately benefit our people. We look forward to continue serving our clients with an even more advanced level of achievement. We're eager to see where that takes us."
