Beatrice E. Miranda, a former partner and now a consultant of the firm, is a versatile attorney whose legal expertise and practice span multiple countries. She holds two Master’s Degrees – one from the University of Zurich in Switzerland and the other one from the University of Miami in Florida – and is qualified to practice law in Switzerland, England and The Bahamas. Beatrice is also a member of STEP.
Beatrice has worked around the world in Switzerland, Australia and The Bahamas. Her work has an international element with clients in The Bahamas, South America, North America and Europe. Beatrice has built up a very strong reputation and long-lasting relationships with her clients, having worked at McKinney, Bancroft & Hughes for 27 years. Since August 2020 Beatrice has been working remotely from Switzerland, supporting her clients in the same way as before.
Beatrice specializes in private client and cross-border insolvency work. She is also well-versed in financial services & regulation as well as corporate & commercial law, and is the deputy head of the Tax & Trade Practice group in the firm. While Beatrice is an accomplished academic, she believes that the key to success is simple: a dedication to assisting other people with their problems in an ethical and efficient manner.
This mantra has allowed her to enjoy a successful career as a legal professional, and the highlights of her career include moving to The Bahamas in 1998 and becoming a partner of the firm in 2012. As a well-traveled attorney who is passionate about foreign languages and different countries, Beatrice is fluent in multiple languages, including English, German and Spanish, and she is also proficient in French and Portuguese.
That said, there is more to Beatrice than just her profession – she is passionate about her family and enjoys a variety of sports, including tennis, swimming, biking and inline-skating.
