Firm Overview

Set up in 2005 as BLC Chambers, the firm quickly and naturally established itself as a leading law firm in Mauritius.

BLC Robert has been recognised as a Band 1 law firm by Chambers and Partners Global, the prestigious global ranking of law firms since 2008. The firm is simultaneously ranked as first Tier firm by the International Financial Law Review (IFLR and Legal 500). BLC Robert is acclaimed to be ‘a top firm’ and its lawyers as being ‘thorough and professional’ and ‘attentive and responsive’.

According to the Chambers Global guide, BLC Robert “enters the table on the back of stellar market recommendation” and its strength is its “in-depth experience of financial instruments, tax matters and corporate work”.

In 2016, BLC Chambers merged with Etude ROBERT, a firm with a long-standing litigation practice, which gives the firm enhanced capabilities for advisory and transactional work in all areas of Corporate & Commercial law and in Dispute Resolution and intellectual property matters for the benefit of its clients both locally and worldwide. Effective 1 July 2016, the firm rebranded to BLC Robert & Associates. The merger has created the largest law firm in Mauritius and demonstrates a shift in the legal market to consolidate service delivery and offer clients a one stop shop. The firm now boasts the depth of expertise and critical mass to handle any matter.

ALN membership gives BLC Robert a regional footprint, which allows the team to advise domestic and regional clients as they expand their business and commercial interests throughout the continent.

BLC Robert is also in alliance with Harney Westwood & Riegel’s, a leading international offshore business law firm having access to best practice across leading global business jurisdiction.
