The Chambers

A boutique practice with a global reach.

Chancery Lane Chambers advises on the complex, cross-border corporate and commercial matters that define modern offshore practice — from the formation and administration of international structures to high-value litigation in the Eastern Caribbean and before the Privy Council.

The Chambers is led by Ravi A. Bahadursingh — LLB (Hons), LLM, LEC, TEP — a barrister with more than twenty-five years of post-qualification experience and a strong emphasis on corporate and commercial law. He holds an LLB (Hons) from Trinity College Dublin and an LLM in International Economic Law from the University of Warwick, and has been actively engaged in cross-border litigation and advisory work spanning corporate, commercial, financial and regulatory matters.

Ranked Band 2 for General Business Law (Anguilla) in Chambers Global 2026, he pairs the focus of a boutique practice with the reach of a far larger firm — advising clients, intermediaries and governments across the Caribbean, Europe and beyond.

Digital Assets & Blockchain

At the frontier of digital-asset law.

Chambers Global notes that Ravi Bahadursingh is "notably sought out for his expertise in blockchain-related matters" — the product of years spent helping to build one of the world's earliest digital-asset regimes.

A lawyer who helped write the rules for digital assets — then advises the businesses built on them.

As Special Advisor to the Government of Anguilla on Distributed Ledger Technology and a member of the DLT Advisory Committee, the principal served as co-draftsman of the Anguilla Utility Token Offering Act and the Utility Token Exchange Act — legislation that placed Anguilla among the first jurisdictions in the world to formally register utility-token offerings.

That regulatory fluency translates directly into commercial work — from serving as General Counsel to a Swiss distributed-ledger technology company to acting as consultant and legal architect for a digital trust platform, and arbitrating disputes involving financial cryptography and electronic online currency.
