Wednesday 23 January 2019

Ogier's Dispute Resolution team is growing across the Channel Islands with the appointment of two senior Advocates in the Jersey and Guernsey teams.

In Guernsey, Advocate Bryan de Verneuil-Smith has joined the team as a Managing Associate.

And in Jersey, contentious trusts specialist Advocate Damian Evans has joined as Counsel.

In Guernsey, Mr de Verneuil-Smith has most recently represented the executive directors of Carlyle Capital Corporation in the jurisdiction's biggest ever civil trial. 

An active member of the Guernsey International Legal Association, he has a broad commercial litigation practice which covers financial services disputes, banking litigation and contentious insolvency.

Partner Mathew Newman said: "Our team continues to grow due to client demand and a strong flow of instructions covering restructuring, contentious trusts, commercial litigation and regulatory matters.

"Bryan comes to us with a strong reputation, and members of our team have worked closely with him on the Carlyle trial and appeal - we look forward to his arrival."
