Linda Dolland is the Senior Associate at Seon & Associates, and has been affiliated with the firm for the past ten years. Linda is objective and pragmatic, with an ardent determination for justice and professional standards.

Linda has worked in a wide range of practice areas, including mergers and acquisitions, securities, civil and probate litigation, labour law, intellectual property, insurance law and pension issues, as well as liquidations and receiverships. She has also worked with the Principal on a number of regional and international transactions including international bond issues, cross border insolvency issues.

As part of her litigation profile, Linda has acted as Counsel in matters ranging from breaches of covenant, personal injury, contractual debts, mortgagee enforcement proceedings, tortious liability to unfair prejudice claims, and injunctive applications.

Outside of the law, Linda spends her time obsessing over food trends and cooking shows, indulging in post-colonial literature and enjoying Grenada’s beautiful outdoors. She gets her exercise from running after (or being chased by) her two year old.

Linda prides herself on being easily accessible and communicative with clients, whether by phone, Skype, e-mail or in person. She approaches each matter with diligent care and keen attention to detail, the rule of law and the objectives of the client, whether dealing with an individual in a labour dispute matter, or external Counsel on international finance transactions.

Linda is a member of Inner Temple, and has been called to the Bars of Grenada and England and Wales. She is currently serving a second stint on the Executive of the Grenada Bar Association.
