HISTORY and NOW
Jamie Bancod, the founding partner of Millbrook Hills Law Partners, embarked on her legal practice in the charming town of Ba in the Islands of Fiji in January 2017. Initially known as Bancod-Chandra Lawyers, the firm started with a single support staff and a shared vision of delivering high-quality and efficient legal services.
In mid-2017, the Practice welcomed Vikrant Chandra as a partner. Vikrant, renowned for his legal expertise and passion for golf, brought valuable skills to the growing firm.
By the end of 2018, Millbrook Hills Law Partners experienced substantial growth and rebranded to better accommodate its expanding client base. The firm recognized the need to establish a presence in Nadi, a prominent hub for tourism and commercial investments in Fiji.
Within just two years, Millbrook Hills Law Partners had assembled a team of highly skilled professionals who joined the firm strategically, aiming to provide excellence to clients.
In March 2019, Millbrook Hills extended its physical presence to Nadi, situating its office at Kennedy Avenue. The affairs of the Nadi office are overseen by Managing Partner Jamie Bancod, while the Ba office is managed by Partner Vikrant Chandra.
In 2022, the firm further expanded its reach by opening the Lautoka Branch, strengthening its footprint in Fiji. Additionally, in 2023, Millbrook Hills Law Partners welcomed a new partner, Mark J Anthony, who possesses 10 years of experience in criminal and employment law. With the addition of Mark as a partner, the firm made the strategic decision to departmentalize and develop three divisions, each led by a partner specializing in their respective areas of expertise.
Vikrant Chandra heads the General Litigation and Commercial division, Mark J Anthony leads the Criminal and Employment division, and Managing Partner Jamie Bancod assumes the leadership of the Conveyancing and Estate division.
This organizational structure ensures a focused and specialized approach to delivering exceptional legal services to clients across various practice areas.
