Frederick R.M. Smith, KC

Frederick R.M. Smith, KC / Senior Partner of the Firm and Managing Partner Freeport

In October 2009, Mr. Smith received the honour of appointment to King’s Counsel, the highest appointment a member of the Bahamas or the UK Bar can achieve. The title of KC, which entitles the bearer to address the highest court in the U.K., the Privy Council, has been bestowed on fewer than one percent of The Bahamas’ practicing attorneys.

Of all the 1,000 or so practicing attorneys in The Bahamas, Carey G. Leonard may be the least likely ever to have headed for a career in the legal profession or achieved the corporate and community leadership heights he has. His story reads like parts of a modern Robinson Crusoe fantasy.
