Guyana’s legal system is largely based on the colonial English legal system.  Accordingly, local business law differs from U.S. practice.  The U.S. Embassy strongly recommends retaining a local attorney for all transactions.  Companies may visit the U.S. Embassy, Georgetown website for a list of Guyanese attorneys registered with the Embassy.  Listing of an attorney on the site is not an endorsement, and the Embassy cannot recommend one attorney on the list over another.
