Practice groups

Trevor is a Partner in the firm’s Litigation Practice Group.

Since joining the Bahamas Bar in 2010, Trevor has cultivated a practice philosophy rooted in a genuine commitment to finding the most effective path to resolution, whether inside the courtroom or beyond it. He possesses a unique and disciplined ability to assess the economic viability of legal actions against alternative and innovative forms of resolution.

His practice encompasses some of the most technically demanding areas of commercial dispute resolution, spanning the full breadth of the Bahamian Court System. His areas of practice include the registration and enforcement of foreign judgments, land quieting actions, employment disputes, taxation matters, shareholder disputes, insolvency claims (FTX), and tax appeals before the Tax Appeal Commission and Supreme Court.

As lead counsel in a precedent setting Supreme Court decision concerning the rules governing service out of the jurisdiction, Trevor advanced an argument that led to a court finding that the relevant provisions of the law created an anomaly and that “it is time for our Rules Committee to consider removing it from our rules”.

In addition to his advocacy, Trevor has contributed to the firm’s thought leadership through co‑authoring submissions to The Legal 500 and is a noted contributor to the guidance notes of the Supreme Court Civil Procedure Rules Practice Guide.

His professional work and community contributions have been widely recognized. Trevor is listed as a ‘recommended lawyer’ in the area of dispute resolution in the 2025 edition of the Legal 500 Caribbean. In 2024, Trevor was an honoree for the 40 under 40 Awards hosted by Professional Services Bahamas, which recognizes individuals who excel in their professions, give back to the community, and stand out among their peers. In 2017, Trevor was the recipient of the “Millennial of the Year” Award which is an honour bestowed at the Bahamas Financial Services Board’s Industry Excellence Awards. The criteria for this included the demonstration of professional examples of leadership; commitment to the advancement of his profession; and serving as a positive role model for his profession and peers.

Beyond his legal practice, Trevor is deeply committed to public service. He has served as Chairman of the Citizenship Commission since 2021 and as a member of the National Insurance Board Appeal Tribunal since 2023, appointments that reflect both the trust placed in his judgment and his personal dedication to national development.
