Nelcia St Jean

Originally from the island of Dominica, I have resided in the British Virgin Islands for over 25 years. With over fifteen (15) years experience in law, as a Barrister of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (British Virgin Islands) I specialize in (i) Commercial Litigation; (ii) Corporate and Insolvency Law; (iii) Corporate Governance; (v) Corporate Restructuring: Plans of Arrangement, Schemes of Arrangement and Mergers; and (vi) Property Law. I have appeared in the Commercial Court of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (Virgin Islands) and have had conduct of many matters in the Civil Division of the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court (Virgin Islands) in matters in respect of companies and company disputes. In addition to trials my work at Court featured Interim applications and applications for injunctive relief; applications for the appointments of liquidators; applications for the restoration of BVI companies and rectification of share registers; and applications for a range of other relief available to directors and shareholders under the BVI Business Companies & Insolvency Acts. Outside of work I am a Rotarian since 2007 having been a member of the Rotary Club of Road Town from 2007 to 2021. There I served as President, Secretary and Director. I then became the charter president of Rotary Club of Central Tortola in 2021 and was president until 2022. Giving back to my community and helping others is a passion for me.
