Benjamin Meggitt-Smith

Associate

Overview

Overview

I am an Associate in the Jersey Litigation and Dispute Resolution team and work on a range of commercial disputes concerning: contentious trusts, prejudicial shareholder claims, insolvency and restructuring advice, and regulatory matters.

I trained and qualified at Mourant through the Solicitor Qualifying Examinations route, achieving top marks in each of my SQE examinations, after initially starting as a paralegal in September 2022.

Prior to joining Mourant, I gained a first-class honours degree in History from University College London, with a year abroad at the University of Pennsylvania, and worked for the UK Government as a civil servant in multiple Whitehall departments.

Over the course of Spring 2025, I completed a secondment as a legal advisor at Standard Bank (Jersey), where I provided legal advice and strategic analysis to the Bank’s lending business, corporate governance function and trust company businesses.
