Mr Aron has significant experience in advising international and local clients on a wide range of contentious matters, specialising in complex and high-value commercial, funds and trust disputes. He is recognised in Legal 500 for his contentious work in the UK and is described as "up-and-coming" and "very bright with a great work ethic".

Mr Balmer has experience in an extensive range of commercial disputes, appearing in Scotland's Sheriff and Sheriff Appeal Courts.

Karen Le Cras, head of Carey Olsen's dispute resolution team in Guernsey, said: "We are delighted to welcome Elliot and Steven to Carey Olsen. Between them they bring considerable experience in advising across a broad range of subject matters.

"The appointments reflect the increasing volume of instructions we are seeing in our disputes practice and mark our commitment to meeting the needs of clients with challenging international and cross-border elements."
