Carey Olsen appoints its first pan-island lawyer

Monday 17 December 2018

Carey Olsen has appointed Julie Currie as a Senior Associate within its trusts and private wealth practice across both Guernsey and Jersey – marking the first time the firm has appointed a pan-island lawyer in the Channel Islands.

A pensions specialist, Ms Currie will divide her time between Carey Olsen's Guernsey and Jersey offices each week, working alongside other members of the trusts teams who specialise in pensions advice, including Guernsey Partner Konrad Friedlaender and Jersey Partner Siobhan Riley and Counsel Stephen Fitzgerald.

Ms Currie, who joins Carey Olsen after more than 10 years at Pinsent Masons, has extensive experience in a range of pension schemes and advises local and international trustee clients on scheme governance, administration and regulatory issues.
 
Mr Friedlaender said: "Julie's arrival as a pan-island lawyer is a really exciting development for the firm and our pensions practice. It makes sense on a number of levels because not only are we seeing an increasing volume of instructions in the pensions space but a growing number of our clients have a presence in both Guernsey and Jersey. The fact that Julie will be active in both jurisdictions puts her and the firm in an advantageous position."
