Lennox Paton 

Full-service firm Lennox Patton is one of the leading firms in the Bahamas for financial and corporate work. The firm has one domestic office in Nassau and one in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. 

Highlights 

Lennox Paton advised on a range of transactions across multiple jurisdictions and sectors. A standout mandate, deals involving representing Standard Chartered Bank in connection with a sovereign loan to The Bahamas government. The loan proceeds were used to retire existing sovereign debt and fund a groundbreaking marine conservation initiative—the first of its kind in the country. This innovative structure not only reduced national debt at favorable rates but also unlocked hundreds of millions for long-term marine ecosystem preservation.
