Welcome to Our Website

LDS is a Caribbean based professional legislative drafting company. It was established in 2005 in response to the need for private sector legislative drafting expertise to, on the one hand, support the work of national drafting offices, and on the other, assist with public sector strategic initiatives requiring legal and regulatory advice.

Our distinctive characteristic lies in combining our intimate understanding of the laws, legal systems, legislative drafting norms, cultural context and challenges of the small island States of the Caribbean, with our knowledge of international trends—both in legislative drafting and in legal and regulatory reform.

Classification of Property and Conceptions of Ownership in Civil and Common Law.
