About Us
Colonels Chambers was established in 2014 by Jeffrey L. Lloyd, bringing his unique blend of experience and legal expertise to clients in the Bahamas and beyond.
Born on October 6, 1951 in New Providence, Bahamas, Mr. Lloyd has led a multifaceted professional life before his legal career. After graduating from St. Augustine's College in 1969, he earned degrees from St. Gregory's Junior College in Oklahoma and Xavier University in New Orleans, where he completed a Bachelor's Degree in Communications in 1974.
His early career included work as a news reporter with ZNS Radio and teaching English and Drama at St. Augustine's College for five years. Between 1979 and 1984, he worked in the United States as a Communications Consultant with AT&T telephone company.
In his commitment to community service, Mr. Lloyd was the founding Executive Director of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese's Youth Empowerment and Skills Training Institute (YEAST) which targeted at-risk teenage boys. His dedication to service extended to his role in the Roman Catholic Church, where he was ordained into the Permanent Deaconate in 2000 and served for 11 years as Permanent Deacon at St. Francis Xavier Cathedral.
Later in his career, Mr. Lloyd pursued legal education at the University of Wolverhampton, England and completed his Certificate of Legal Education at the Eugene Dupuch Law School in Nassau. He was called to The Bahamas Bar in October 2009.
His diverse experience culminated in his election as a Member of Parliament in May 2017, after which he was appointed the Minister of Education for the Cabinet of the Bahamas.
This rich and varied professional journey gives Mr. Lloyd a unique perspective in his legal practice. At Colonels Chambers, clients benefit from legal counsel informed not just by technical knowledge of the law, but by real-world experience across business, education, communications, and public service. This background allows us to understand client needs from multiple angles and develop solutions that address both legal requirements and broader objectives.
Our approach is personal, strategic, and focused on results. We believe in attentive listening, clear communication, and solutions tailored to your specific circumstances. Whether you need guidance on investment structures, trust formation, company establishment, or other legal matters, Colonels Chambers offers dedicated service to help you achieve your goals with confidence.
The Foundations of Excellence
Wisdom
Wisdom extends beyond legal knowledge to encompass practical understanding drawn from diverse experience. Our approach integrates insights from business, communications, education, and public service. This broader perspective enables us to develop solutions that address not just legal implications but business realities, communication needs, and long-term objectives. When conventional approaches fall short, we offer innovative strategies that reveal new possibilities for our clients.
Attention
Direct engagement with every client, every matter, every time. As a boutique firm, we've deliberately chosen quality over quantity. Each client relationship receives dedicated oversight, ensuring you always work with experienced counsel who fully understands your situation. Questions are answered promptly, concerns are addressed thoroughly, and your objectives remain central to our strategy. This personal attention allows us to customize our approach rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions.
Clarity
Navigating complex legal landscapes with precision and purpose. From investment funds and trusts to company structures, intellectual property, and immigration matters, we bring clear direction to even the most intricate legal challenges. Our approach cuts through complexity to identify the most direct path to your objectives. We present options without unnecessary complication, documentation without excessive jargon, and strategies without ambiguity. This clarity extends across our full spectrum of services, ensuring you always understand not just what we're doing, but why it matters for your specific goals.
At Colonels Chambers, these principles form the foundation of our legal practice. They aren't abstract ideals—they're the living standards that guide our work every day.
Our firm was built on the conviction that truly exceptional legal counsel requires wisdom from diverse experience, personal attention to every detail, and clarity in even the most complex legal matters. This distinctive approach has become the hallmark of Colonels Chambers and the reason clients continue to entrust us with their most important legal needs.
