Mourant achieves joint top spot in Private Client Global Elite Directory with 17 lawyers recognised

Mourant, a law firm-led professional services business, has seen 17 lawyers recognised in the Private Client Global Elite Directory 2024, achieving joint top spot in the latest guide.

In the directory, nine lawyers from the Mourant Litigation and Private Wealth teams have been named as Global Elite in their fields. In addition, eight Mourant lawyers have been awarded Private Client Global Excellence accolades.

Launched in 2017, the Private Client Global Elite Directory showcases the world’s top private client and trust​ and estates litigation talent. The directory was created with the awareness that referrals and recommendations are absolutely key to the sector. As such, rather than a listing of advisers chosen by a third party, it comprises excellent individuals chosen by their peers within the private wealth industry.

Commenting on the firm’s strong presence in the latest guide, Mourant Head of International Trusts and Private Client, Edward Devenport, said:

“It is fantastic once again to see such strong representation of our talented lawyers from across our firm’s Channel Islands, Asia-Pacific and Caribbean practices being recognised by Private Client Global Elite. I am very proud of the exceptional work that our Private Wealth and Litigation teams continue to deliver to our clients, and would like to extend my congratulations to all those recognised in the directory this year.”

Mourant has also maintained top rankings in the latest Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide, including a Band 1 ranking for the firm’s Jersey-based Private Wealth team.

In the 2024 edition of Legal 500 UK, published in November 2023, the firm’s Guernsey and Jersey teams also both achieved coveted Tier 1 rankings in the Private Client, Trusts and Tax category.
