Athena Law was conceived on the idea that there had to be a better way to engage in the practice of law and to create and appreciate a different life experience. My 26 years of experience practicing on the island puts me at the forefront of Property Acquisition, Commercial Law & Investment, and Legacy Planning in Saint Lucia, serving clients from all over the world looking to invest on the island. I am most fulfilled working collaboratively with clients, creating practical solutions using innovation, knowledge and experience while making the time to engage in activities outside of the law. My goal is to provide both private and corporate clients with legal services which are focused and customized to meet your specific needs. I see myself as a part of your personal journey, guiding and supporting you to ensure that you can achieve your vision. My practice is built on the strong bonds established and maintained with my clients, many of whom have been with me from the very start of my legal career. The legal and real-world experience gained over the last two decades allows my team and I to effectively translate complicated concepts into simple and easy to understand ideas putting our clients in an empowered position to make decisions with greater clarity. My desire is to ultimately help you experience a better, more authentic, more fulfilling life and career by ensuring that you have all your T’s crossed, I’s dotted and affairs well punctuated so that you can have peace of mind, freedom, and success in all your undertakings.
