New Partner joins Walkers Guernsey

Wednesday 29 January 2020

Advocate Adam Cole has joined Walkers' Guernsey Insolvency & Dispute Resolution team as a lateral partner hire from another island firm.

Advocate Cole joins Partners Alison Ozanne and Sarah Brehaut in the team.

It has seen a lot of change recently, with the arrival of Senior Associate Helena Lavin and Associate Laurent Thibeault's admission as a Guernsey Advocate.

Advocate Cole is the latest in a line of lateral partner hires in the firm's Guernsey team. Advocate Kate Storey joined Walkers' Investment & Funds team just over a year ago, and Group Partner Rajah Abusrewil joined the Private Capital & Trusts team in early 2019.

The firm's expansion in the island has seen headcount grow significantly over the past two years.

"We are delighted to welcome Adam to the team," said Ms Ozanne. "He has made his mark as a litigator in Guernsey and to be recognised by both leading directories demonstrates the strength of his reputation in the market.

"His specialism in contentious insolvency and trusts matters fits very neatly with our practice, which continues to grow in terms of capacity, reputation and market share.

Advocate Cole added: "I am delighted to be joining not just a very highly regarded international law firm, but also a very well regarded Insolvency & Dispute Resolution team here in Guernsey.

"I look forward to working with Alison, Sarah and the rest of the team, as Walkers continues its international growth strategy."
