Founding Attorney
Transnational Matters PLLC announces a significant legal engagement against the Government of Jamaica. Specifically, the firm represents Music Licensing Inc. and the Jake P. Noch Family Office in this matter. Our team has officially dispatched a letter on behalf of our clients. The letter initiates discussions under the framework of the Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT) between the United States and Jamaica. In addition, it addresses potential claims by our clients against the Jamaican government.
This action triggers a six-month cooling-off period mandated by the BIT, an essential step towards resolving disputes amicably and avoiding arbitration.
Our Approach to the Engagement Against Jamaica
Transnational Matters PLLC commits to leveraging its extensive expertise in international law and investment treaty arbitration. In particular, we will advocate for our clients’ rights and interests throughout these negotiations. Our team also stands ready to represent Music Licensing Inc. and the Jake P. Noch Family Office in arbitration. That step would follow only if the parties do not reach an amicable settlement within the designated timeframe. However, our primary objective remains to achieve a fair and beneficial resolution for all parties involved.
The initiation of this engagement against Jamaica reflects our firm’s dedication to upholding the rights of investors. Likewise, it reflects our commitment to fostering an environment that respects international investment agreements. Indeed, we believe constructive dialogue and cooperation can produce a resolution that benefits our clients and the Government of Jamaica.
Meanwhile, Transnational Matters PLLC will continue to provide updates on this engagement against Jamaica as more information becomes available. Our firm proudly represents clients who commit to resolving disputes through dialogue and negotiation. Moreover, we dedicate ourselves to achieving outcomes that respect the principles of justice and fairness in the international investment community.
