Freeport, Bahamas - Callenders & Co, the country’s oldest law firm, announced the appointment of its newest partner today, civil litigator Jacqueline H. Banona. Ms. Banona practices in Grand Bahama.
“We are pleased to announce the appointment of Jackie Banona who becomes the third partner in our Freeport office,” said Fred Smith, QC, Managing Partner, Grand Bahama. “From the moment she joined Callenders, Jackie was an instant fit and as we got to know her better, her dedication, the depth of her intellect, her thoroughness and her ability to grasp the details of the most complex case impressed everyone. As a litigator, she is a tiger, a very tough opponent and in this profession, that’s the highest compliment you can bestow on someone.”
Ms. Banona was born in Uganda, East Africa. She obtained her Bachelor of Laws Degree at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda where she completed her post graduate Bar Course at the Law Development Centre.
Ms. Banona was admitted to practice in the High Court of Uganda in 2005 and is certified by the Supreme Court of The Bahamas to practice in The Bahamas.
This was the second time in as many years Callenders bolstered its roster of partners. In January, 2013, Callenders announced the appointments of Llewellyn Boyer-Cartwright, Courtney Pearce and Simone Morgan-Gomez to its Nassau office.
Founded more than 110 years ago, Callenders has twice been recognized as the country’s best corporate law firm by Corp. INT’L. In 2011, Nassau Managing Partner Colin Callender, QC, a descendant of the firm’s founding attorney, is the first and only attorney in The Bahamas and one of only five worldwide outside the United States to be elected a director of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers.
Callenders maintains offices in downtown Nassau, at Lyford Cay and in Grand Bahama.
