An offshore law firm has been shortlisted in four categories at Citywealth IFC Awards.

The firm is in the running for both Guernsey and Jersey 'Law Firm of the Year' as well as 'Litigation Law Firm of the Year'.

Partner and Litigation specialist, Jeremy Wessels, has been nominated for 'Lawyer of the Year – Litigation'. This follows his recent inclusion on the 2019 Legal Week Private Client Global Elite list, which lists 200 of the world's pre-eminent private client advisers.

Mourant Global Managing Partner, Jonathan Rigby, said: "We have a longstanding reputation as a preeminent law firm in the Channel Islands and work tirelessly to promote and develop the Islands as leading international finance centres.

"So we are delighted to see Jersey and Guernsey recognised in this way by Citywealth and very proud to be shortlisted as Law Firm of the Year and Litigation Law Firm of the Year for both islands."

Winners are those judged to have excelled in achievement, innovation, expertise and service and will be announced at a ceremony in London on 29 January 2020.

Mourant has also been shortlisted for seven awards in the upcoming Citywealth Powerwomen Awards 2020, including for 'Best Employer – Career Progression', which will be announced on 22 February.
