CJC Associate Chase Jansson has been admitted to the Bar of the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) as a Regular Member.
Chase joins CJC Miami Office Director Neil Bayer who has maintained his pro hac vice admission in the jurisdiction for several years and litigated numerous cases there in conjunction with local counsel.
The Virgin Islands Bar Association has only approximately 1,000 Members practicing within the United States Territory comprised of 68 cays and islands in close proximity to the British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
Its three main islands of St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix are well-known for their involvement in numerous industrial and tourist-oriented maritime sectors, including yacht charters, yacht dockage, ship building, vessel maintenance and repair, and heavy cargo shipping.
Chase and Neil represent international insurers, reinsurers, Lloyd’s syndicates, P&I Clubs, shipowners, and charterers in a wide variety of marine and general liability claims, as well as counselling clients on a broad range of business-related issues.
Going forward, CJC will be now be able to provide clients with full service legal representation in the US Virgin Islands directly, issue USVI legal opinions and advise on matters of USVI law via our Miami office.
