Conveyancing & Real Estate
Property transactions in Jamaica carry significant legal complexity, from the initial title search through to registration at the Titles Office. Edmond Law handles every stage of the process with precision, protecting your interests whether you are buying, selling, mortgaging, or transferring real estate.
We understand that for most Jamaicans, a property purchase is the largest financial decision of their lifetime. That is why we take the time to explain each step, flag every risk, and ensure that the title you receive is clean, clear, and properly documented.
Our conveyancing work extends to commercial real estate, lease agreements, and subdivision matters, giving individuals and businesses alike the security of knowing their transaction has been handled by attorneys who understand Jamaican property law inside out.
- Residential and commercial property purchases and sales
- Title investigation, searches, and due diligence
- Mortgage documentation and refinancing
- Transfers of title and gift deeds
- Lease agreements and tenancy matters
- Land subdivision and strata title work
Civil & Criminal Litigation
Going to court, or even facing the possibility of it, is one of the most stressful experiences a person can face. At Edmond Law, we approach every dispute with thorough preparation, a clear litigation strategy, and the courtroom composure that comes from genuine experience. You will not be handed to a junior associate. Your matter is handled by a named partner.
In civil matters, we represent clients in contract disputes, property litigation, debt recovery, negligence claims, and injunctions in the Resident Magistrates' Court and the Supreme Court of Jamaica. In criminal matters, we represent accused persons at all stages, from the station level through to the Court of Appeal, ensuring their constitutional rights are protected throughout.
- Contract disputes and breach of agreement
- Property and boundary disputes
- Debt recovery and enforcement of judgments
- Criminal defence at all court levels
- Bail applications and arraignment representation
- Appeals and judicial review
Estate Planning
A properly drafted will is one of the most important documents you will ever sign. It ensures that the property, savings, business, and wishes you have built over a lifetime are distributed exactly as you intend, and that the people who depend on you are provided for.
Too many Jamaicans die intestate, leaving their families to navigate a complex and often contentious legal process. Edmond Law's estate planning service is designed to spare your loved ones that difficulty. We work with you to understand your circumstances, advise on the most effective structures available under Jamaican law, and draft instruments that will withstand scrutiny.
Estate planning is not only for the wealthy. If you own property, have dependants, or have strong views about how your affairs should be managed if you become incapacitated, now is the time to plan.
- Drafting and execution of wills
- Trusts and other succession structures
- Powers of attorney (general and enduring)
- Living wills and advance directives
- Review and update of existing estate documents
- Beneficiary and executor guidance
Probate & Administration
Administering a deceased person's estate is a legal obligation, and it is one that often arises at a time of personal grief and family strain. Edmond Law provides compassionate, efficient probate and administration services to executors, administrators, and beneficiaries, taking the legal burden off your shoulders so that you can focus on what matters.
Whether the deceased left a valid will or died without one, our attorneys guide you through the application for a grant of probate or letters of administration, the collection and valuation of assets, the payment of debts, and the ultimate distribution to beneficiaries in accordance with the law.
- Applications for grant of probate (testate estates)
- Letters of administration (intestate estates)
- Asset tracing, valuation, and collection
- Payment of debts and estate liabilities
- Distribution to beneficiaries and transmission of property
- Contested probate and estate disputes
Family Law
Family law matters are rarely just legal disputes. They are deeply personal, often involving the people you love most and the life you have built together. At Edmond Law, we approach family matters with the discretion they require and the tenacity they sometimes demand. We will advocate fiercely for your interests while maintaining the professionalism that serves long-term outcomes, especially when children are involved.
Our family law team handles the full spectrum of domestic matters under Jamaican law, including divorce and separation, custody and access arrangements, maintenance claims, and the division of matrimonial property. We represent both petitioners and respondents, and we are equally comfortable reaching negotiated agreements as we are litigating contested matters.
- Divorce petitions and judicial separation
- Child custody, care, and access arrangements
- Maintenance orders for children and spouses
- Division of matrimonial and jointly-held property
- Domestic violence injunctions and protection orders
- Adoption proceedings
Personal Injury
When you are injured because of someone else's negligence, you deserve proper legal representation. Insurance companies and opposing parties have their own attorneys working to minimise what you receive. Edmond Law levels the playing field, fighting for the full compensation the law provides, without requiring anything from you upfront in appropriate cases.
We handle motor vehicle accident claims, workplace injuries, slip-and-fall incidents, and other negligence-based matters under Jamaican tort law. Our attorneys assess your claim honestly, advise on realistic compensation ranges, and pursue your matter persistently, whether through negotiation or litigation, whichever achieves the best result for you.
- Motor vehicle accident claims
- Workplace injury and occupational accident claims
- Slip, trip, and fall incidents (occupier's liability)
- Negligence claims against third parties
- Fatal accident claims (dependants' actions)
- Insurance claim disputes and negotiations
Contracts & Labour/Employment Law
Every significant transaction, commercial or personal, rests on a contract. Edmond Law drafts, reviews, and negotiates contracts that clearly reflect your intentions, protect your interests, and hold up when they need to. Whether you are entering a business partnership, engaging a contractor, or licensing intellectual property, the right agreement is your first line of protection.
Our labour and employment practice serves both employers and employees. We advise on Jamaican employment legislation, draft contracts of employment and workplace policies, represent parties in redundancy and unfair dismissal matters, and appear before the Industrial Disputes Tribunal where required.
- Commercial contracts, MOUs, and partnership agreements
- Employment contracts and HR policy documentation
- Redundancy, dismissal, and severance matters
- Industrial Disputes Tribunal representation
- Non-disclosure and non-compete agreements
