About Me

Melanie J. Orr, Attorney-at-Law is a female-owned law firm offering client-centric, tech-forward, flexible representation to meet the highly individual needs of my clients. I offer a wide variety of planning and transactional services for your business and personal life. My goal is to save you time and money so you can get back to what you love

I was admitted to practice in Jamaica in 2015.  A graduate of the University of the West Indies, I first obtained a Bachelor of Basic Medical Sciences in Pharmacology, with Honours and distinguished myself by being on the Dean’s Honour Roll. After beginning my Masters in the field I realized my passion and left to pursue Law. I then obtained my Bachelor of Law, with Honours, from the University of London and thereafter my Legal Education Certificate from the Norman Manley Law School.

My experience includes buying and selling real estate, leasing and renting property, forming, maintaining and terminating businesses and companies (local and offshore), drafting and negotiating various agreements to govern legal relationships, structuring public and private financing projects, protecting and enforcing intellectual property rights and a wide range of other real estate, corporate and commercial and intellectual property matters.
