Matt Sanders, Managing Partner of Walkers’ Guernsey office, said: “On behalf of the entire Guernsey office, my congratulations to Danielle and Charlotte on their promotions to partner, and to everyone across the office who has been recognised this year. These well-earned promotions span the full breadth of our practice, and each reflects the standards our clients rely on. It has been an excellent year for the office, particularly with our recent ten-year celebrations.”
Fraser Hern, Head of Walkers’ Channel Islands business, added: “This has been another exceptional year for our Channel Islands business. These latest promotions across Guernsey and Jersey are a clear reflection of that. When we set out to build out our business in the Channel Islands in 2018, our goal was to create something that could compete with, and in time outperform, the very best in the market. That necessitated identifying the most talented and driven people in the market and giving them a platform to succeed personally and professionally.
“Our journey towards becoming the market leader in every practice area continues today. Promotions such as these, spanning both offices and every level of the business, are exactly what we anticipated and what we expect to see continue in the years ahead. My congratulations to everyone recognised this year.”
