Law firm Walkers has announced it has welcomed four new lawyers across its Channel Islands practice.
In Jersey, Jasmin Guy and Jessica Miller join the Banking and Finance team as associates, alongside Metumo Shilongo, who joins the Regulatory and Risk Advisory team as a senior associate.
In Guernsey, Jordan Trebert joins the Insolvency and Dispute Resolution team as an associate.
Ms Miller trained and qualified at a top 20 UK law firm, where she gained hands-on experience in high-value corporate and finance matters. She advises on a broad range of financing transactions.
Ms Guy advises on lender and borrower transactions. She was previously a solicitor at a leading UK firm focusing on banking and finance matters.
Mr Shilongo brings over a decade of financial services regulatory experience, advising institutions on prudential, conduct and merger and acquisition issues; most recently with a magic circle firm in London, following senior roles in South Africa.
Mr Trebert trained and qualified at an international firm in the UK, where he gained experience in commercial, real estate and private wealth disputes. He now advises on corporate and commercial disputes, including insolvency and contentious trust matters.
Jersey managing partner Jonathan Heaney said: “These hires reflect the sustained growth of our Jersey practice and our commitment to investing in talent that delivers for clients.
“Jessica and Jasmin bring solid transactional experience acting for both lenders and borrowers, while Metumo’s decade-plus in financial services regulation across Johannesburg and London adds further depth to our dedicated regulatory bench in the Channel Islands.”
Guernsey managing partner Matt Sanders added: “Jordan’s arrival strengthens our disputes capability in Guernsey, particularly in corporate, insolvency and trust litigation.
“We continue to build a team that can handle complex, multi-party matters with the responsiveness and practicality our clients expect.”
