Building, construction, general infrastructure and procurement are recognized by Cameron & Shepherd as areas of law that will become important in the immediate future. In this regard we have had much past experience in representing international construction companies such as Taylor Woodrow and  Guyana Housing and Development Corporation and represent the Berbice Bridge Company.

Some of the contested commercial litigation we handle reaches the Court of Appeal and the Caribbean Court of Justice, where we have had the opportunity to assist in developing Guyana’s jurisprudence.
