Babbé’s litigation team continues to grow

Friday 19 July 2019

Commercial litigation lawyer, Kirthi Kalyan, has joined the dispute resolution team at Babbé as an associate.

She brings with her more than five years’ experience advising clients on various aspects of large scale, cross-jurisdictional corporate investigations and expertise in corporate litigation, business ethics, anti-money laundering and anti-corruption.

In her previous role with Norton Rose Fulbright in South Africa, Ms Kaylan advised multi-national companies on matters relating to corruption, fraud and corporate espionage involving, among other regulators, the UK Serious Fraud Office.

A graduate of the University of California, Berkley, Ms Kalyan completed her Master of Laws with a specialisation certificate in Environmental Law from the American institution and has been admitted as an Attorney of the High Court of South Africa.

Ms Kalyan said: “I am thrilled to be joining such a well-respected team at one of Guernsey’s leading law firms during this exciting period of growth.”

Babbé’s managing partner, Andrew Laws, said: “Our dispute resolution team is one of the largest in Guernsey representing international clients in the most complex and high value cases. The appointment of Kirthi has strengthened our offering even further. Her international experience and expertise in anti-money laundering is especially relevant following the introduction of Guernsey’s new AML Handbook earlier this year.”
