Morton Robinson, L.P.
Charlestown's boutique law firm for citizenship, corporate structuring, and Nevis real estate
Why Go
Tucked into Heritage Plaza on Charlestown's Main Street, Morton Robinson is the small, sharp-elbowed firm expats, developers, and would-be Nevisian citizens quietly recommend when the paperwork actually has to hold up. Founded by Midge Morton and Maurisha Robinson, it punches well above its size on Citizenship-by-Investment, offshore structuring, and island property deals.
The Experience
Walk into the second-floor suites at Heritage Plaza and it feels less like a corporate law office and more like a working island practice: quiet consultations, dark-wood desks, and partners who actually read the file. Most clients arrive with something specific in mind ΓÇö a CBI application, an IBC formation, a beachfront closing, or a trademark filing ΓÇö and leave with a plain-English roadmap rather than a stack of jargon. The firm handles matters end-to-end, from due-diligence intake through Nevis Financial Services Regulatory Commission filings, so you're not bouncing between agents. Expect responsive email, in-person meetings when the stakes call for it, and the kind of local relationships that make a Nevis transaction move at Nevis speed.
What to Try
Come in with a clear ask: a Citizenship-by-Investment consultation, a Nevis LLC or International Business Company setup, an offshore trust structure, a real estate purchase or sale on the island, an intellectual property (trademark/patent) filing, or notarial services. High-net-worth clients also lean on the firm for immigration, tax positioning, and resort-development counsel.
Insider Tip
Book the initial consultation before you fly in and bring passport copies, source-of-funds documentation, and any prior corporate paperwork already scanned ΓÇö the firm can front-load KYC and due diligence so that by the time you're sitting on the veranda in Charlestown, you're signing rather than gathering. If your matter touches CBI, ask specifically which approved real estate or contribution route best fits your timeline; the partners are candid about which developers are actually closing.
