Collas Crill Partner Simon Hurry has become the first lawyer in the Channel Islands to be recognised as an INSOL Fellow.
The International Association of Restructuring, Insolvency, and Bankruptcy Professionals is a worldwide federation of national associations of accountants and lawyers specialising in turnaround and insolvency.
Having passed the association's Global Insolvency Practice Course (GIPC - INSOL's qualification focusing on international insolvency), Mr Hurry is one of only four individuals across the islands to be formally recognised as an INSOL Fellow.
"The GIPC was an intense and positive experience," he said.
"It has broadened and deepened my understanding of cross-border insolvency matters. The tutors are highly experienced, senior practitioners and the content of the course is excellent. I feel very privileged to be part of the INSOL Fellow community, which spans the globe and now includes Jersey."
Collas Crill's Insolvency and Corporate Disputes global practice head Stephen Leontsinis said: "I'm very pleased to see that all of Simon’s hard work has paid off and that he has graduated as an INSOL Fellow - a designation of true insolvency knowledge and expertise.
"The Fellows of INSOL are an impressive, globally connected network of insolvency practitioners. Simon's acceptance as one of their number adds even more strength and depth to our global insolvency and corporate disputes practice."
