Senior Associate, Daian Sumner is a qualified barrister who has spent the last three years practising law in the BVI, before recently relocating to Jersey to join the firm.
Kirsten Bailey joins as an Associate, having previously worked in the Johannesburg office of a Pan-African law firm, where she advised on disputes including class actions, contentious insolvencies and tax, contract and product liability disputes.
She also has experience in the Courts of South Africa, Botswana and Tanzania, with clients including local and international financial institutions, high net worth individuals and large corporations in the food and beverage sectors, as well as various Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed entities.
Partner and Head of Jersey’s DR department, Damian James said: ‘It’s a great time for us to be appointing two additional lawyers to the busy team.
“Both Daian and Kirsten have extremely interesting backgrounds and their experience and knowledge will allow us to further develop our existing offering to clients here at Collas Crill.”
