Chad Roberts has been named managing partner of Callenders & Co., Nassau, with oversight and overall management of the law firm, which has offices in Nassau, western New Providence and Freeport, Grand Bahama.

The appointment followed the death in December 2015 of Colin Callender, the third generation of the family to helm one of the country’s oldest law firms.

Roberts called the appointment, effective immediately, “both the greatest honour and the most significant opportunity of my life.”
“There is a distinct Callenders corporate culture, a closeness that creates a sense of community and I want to keep that going,” said Roberts.

“We share and work in teams when it is helpful to do so. At the same time, many of our lawyers and particularly those in Grand Bahama are also known for their passion, whether in environmental matters, human rights or immigration.”

“We have never been afraid to tackle the tough issues and yet we have maintained the dignity and reputation of a firm that at its foundation is dedicated to making business work. Striving to maintain the balance between doing good and being the best at what we do, will be my goal.”
