History

The roots of O'Neal Webster date back to 1989. The firm was founded by Paul Webster Q.C., Colin O'Neal and Barbara O'Neal, who were all associates in law firms in the British Virgin Islands. Their commitment to delivering a high level of legal service with a commitment to clients and the community, led them to form the partnership of O'Neal Webster O'Neal. In 1993, a strategic alliance was formed with leading Caribbean law firm Myers Fletcher & Gordon of Kingston, Jamaica, to establish and develop what is now one of the leading commercial law firms in the British Virgin Islands ("BVI"), one of the world's most important offshore financial services centers.

From our beginnings as a general local practice, O'Neal Webster has grown with the British Virgin Islands and has become established as a firm recognized for its expertise in British Virgin Islands corporate and commercial law as well as litigation, where our attorneys have distinguished themselves at every level of the judicial system in the British Virgin Islands, the Caribbean and at the Privy Council in London.

O'Neal Webster is a member firm of Lex Mundi, the world's leading association of independent law firms. Please take the time to read the Lex Mundi Brochure.
