| N. Leroy Smith joined
Higgs & Johnson in 2000 and is a practitioner
in the firm’s Litigation Practice Group. He
has had a particular focus on all facets of trust
law including representing fiduciaries and individual
clients (both private and institutional) in a range
of trust and estate litigation; and advising international
and local institutional clients in the drafting
and administration of Bahamian trusts. In addition,
Leroy has significant experience working in contentious
and non-contentious commercial matters (including
claims for breach of contract, directors’
and shareholders’ disputes and asset-tracing
and recovery matters), telecommunications law and
maritime law. He also regularly counsels a number
of local and international companies and insurers
in relation to personal injury, defamation and other
tort-based claims.
Leroy obtained an LL.B. (Hons.) from the University
of Southampton and was called to the Bar of England
and Wales and to the Bahamas Bar in 1998. He subsequently
earned an LL.M. in Corporate and Commercial Law
at the University College of London.
Mr. Smith has contributed to Tolley’s International
Succession Laws and sits on the editorial board
for the firm’s client publication, FOCUS.
In June 2006 he was awarded the Advanced Certificate
in Company Law and Practice by S.T.E.P.
