Overview

Overview

I am a Partner and Advocate of the Jersey Litigation practice.

I regularly advise on a wide range of multi-jurisdictional commercial disputes, with a particular focus in the areas of contentious private wealth and trust matters, partnership and investment fund disputes and corporate liquidations and reorganisations.

I am qualified in England and Wales, the Cayman Islands and Jersey.

I am actively engaged in Jersey’s business community and am a qualified Chartered Director (C. Dir.). I am a qualified Trusts and Estate Practitioner and I sit on the global Council for the Society of Trusts and Estates Practitioners (STEP). I am also the former Chair of STEP in Jersey. I also sit on the Legal and Regulatory Committee of Association of Restructuring and Insolvency Experts (ARIES), the STEP Main Committee and Technical Sub-Committee.

Additionally, I sit as a standing member of the Law Society of Jersey Committee, the body which regulates the legal profession in Jersey. I deliver regular training sessions to the Jersey financial services industry and onshore firms. Finally, I am INSOL Europe’s Country Co-Ordinator for the Channel Islands.

I am a passionate advocate for workplace equality and inclusion and I am a Local Office Sponsor of Mourant’s employee-led Inclusion Network.
