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.”
