We offer legal advice with respect to the offering of securities by an issuer in The Bahamas and the requirements under Bahamian law for the registration of a prospectus with the relevant Bahamian regulator. We can also advise in respect to the requirements under Bahamian law for the licensing and regulation of entities wishing to conduct broker-dealer services or investment management services in or from within The Bahamas.

We also advise on the process of setting up an investment fund to be regulated by the laws of The Bahamas. More specifically, the firm’s attorneys can provide advice in relation to:

• the requirements needed to set up the investment fund vehicle (corporation, partnership or trust);
• the requirements to set up the investment fund, including the drafting of the memorandum and articles of association or such other constitutive documents;
• the preparation of the offering memorandum and the material contracts of the investment fund.

Additionally, the Firm’s attorneys counsel clients on the ongoing regulatory requirements for investment funds and the parties related to an investment fund as well as in respect of the ongoing regulatory requirements for public companies, broker-dealers and securities investment advisors.
