Foga Daley

What Foga Daley does

Foga Daley is a 9-person boutique law firm headquartered in Kingston, Jamaica, founded in 2000 by Nicole Foga and Dianne Daley McClure as the first specialized Intellectual Property and Telecommunications law firm in Jamaica. The firm provides legal services across six integrated practice areas: intellectual property (trademarks, patents, copyrights, industrial designs, geographical indications, trade secrets, and portfolio management), communications and telecommunications law, information technology and cyber law, entertainment and sports law, and commercial/corporate matters including mergers and acquisitions, debt recovery, and real estate transactions. Its client base spans international associations, multinational companies, regional organizations, small businesses, entertainers and athletes, and individuals, with service delivery covering domestic Jamaican matters, Caribbean regional work, and international IP filings. Three equity partners — Managing Partner Nicole Foga, IP Partner Dianne Daley McClure, and Partner Rachael Lodge Corrie (welcomed into partnership in June 2021) — lead the firm alongside paralegal and administrative staff.

The firm has no proprietary technology stack or productized software; its core "product" is partner-led professional legal services delivered on a quote-based, time-and-materials model. Revenue is generated through legal advisory, IP prosecution, portfolio management, litigation, regulatory compliance, and commercial transaction support, with no disclosed pricing tiers or package offerings. Marketing and client acquisition rely on thought-leadership channels — partner-authored monographs (e.g., Jamaica: Intellectual Property, Cyber Law in Jamaica), educational seminars such as the inaugural Caribbean Advertising and Marketing Law Seminar co-hosted with GALA in 2018, and earned-media recognition including WTR 1000 listings and IP STARS Top 250 Women in IP.

Competitive position rests on a first-mover boutique identity in Jamaican IP/Communications law and on partner-level institutional ties to Jamaica's regulatory ecosystem — including JIPO acting chairmanship, Copyright Office headship, Cayman Islands tribunal chairs, and Romanian Honorary Consul status. Jamaica's December 2021 accession to the Madrid Protocol and February 2022 entry into force of the modern Patents and Designs Act materially expand the addressable market for the firm's international trademark and patent filing practice.
