Our Testimonials

Here’s what some have to say about our services.

I had the distinct pleasure to meet Carla Anne Harris Roper in 2012 and the professional journey from then to now continues to be a phenomenal experience. This lady demonstrates the attributes of the consummate Attorney at law. She is thorough in her preparation of legal matters, achieves success especially within difficult circumstances and is clearly a cut above the rest.
Philip Pilgrim, K.C.Attorney at Law, Barbados, Former President Antigua Industrial Court
Carla-Anne has established herself as one of the premier, and arguably the most knowledgeable source in the Caribbean on employment and labour law. The depth of her knowledge on the area regarding cross jurisdictional practices defines her practice. To add, her calm and patient demeanor will put any client at ease, whether it be an individual or a multinational corporation. I unhesitatingly recommend her.
Mark ReynoldsGeneral Counsel Logic (Cayman) and VP, International Regulatory Operations, ATN International
I’ve spent 21 years working for a financial institution and my life changed after I met Carla-Anne Harris-Roper. She is one of my mentors whose professional guidance has led to me establishing my own successful business.
Gwendalyn PhillipManaging Director, Island Farms Inc. Grenada
I was inspired to bring different meaning to my craft by the genius of the principal behind this initiative. Endorsements from me are not easy to come by, but this author and people-whisperer is the real deal.
Candice WalkerAttorney-at Law and National HR Manager, Toyota Jamaica
Mrs. Carla-Anne Harris-Roper is an extraordinary professional. I have seen many examples of her professional skills and have long been impressed by her diligence and work ethics. She exhibits a very high level of problem solving solutions which on many occasions has averted impasses between the Unions and her former employer.
David A.D. MassiahGeneral Secretary, Antigua and Barbuda Workers’ Union
Carla Anne Harris Roper is the Rolls Royce of Employee and Industrial Relations Law. Passionate and fair... 'haute couture'
Geneieve HartyAttorney-at-Law, Jamaica
Mrs. Harris-Roper is a professional whose exceptional abilities are only exceeded by her glaring genuineness, thoughtfulness and humility. She's a force to be reckoned with, a gifted thinker, talented researcher, advocate, negotiator and mediator. She is thorough in her analyses and conscientious in her dealings. This rare talent is well sought after by the legal community in Jamaica and the wider Caribbean.
Dr. Jason HaynesAssociate Professor of Law, Birmingham Law School, UK
I hired Carla-Anne and worked closely with her for several years managing unionized operations in the Caribbean. Carla-Anne is a high achiever who acts strategically and always with integrity. She gets things done! Her clients are fortunate to have her on their side.
Robert AvinoamMember Landlord and Tenant Board (Tribunals Ontario) Canada
I had the distinct pleasure to be in a matter involving a counsel on the other side who in my view still shows all is not lost. There is hope and some among us live up to the ethical standards…. Mrs. Carla-Anne Harris Roper to you I say well done and I am forever grateful that we were able to put our heads together and have the matter dispensed with amicably. God bless
Gloria Blenman-De ClouManaging Director, Attorney-at-Law Declou & Co. (Jamaica)
