Advocate joins ranks of industry association

Monday 23 February 2015

Jersey Advocate and English Barrister William Redgrave of Baker & Partners has been accepted into the membership of Association of Contentious Trusts and Probate Specialists.

The association (ACTAPS) is well respected amongst contentious trusts practitioners and has strict criteria for membership, with additional requirements for barristers. Advocate Redgrave had to demonstrate extensive relevant experience in breach of trust claims and dispute resolution in relation to trusts.

Before moving to Jersey in 2008, he practised at the English Bar for 13 years. He was appointed as a Crown Advocate in 2012 and has appeared in many notable recent civil decisions in Jersey. He appeared for the successful plaintiff in a recent case in which an overseas judgment debtor denied for two years that he was beneficially interested in assets held within a complex structure headed by a Jersey foundation. The case concluded with a capitulation by the defendant.

Advocate Stephen Baker, Senior Partner at Baker & Partners, said: “William is an outstanding barrister and advocate, and the recent confirmation of his membership of ACTAPS, particularly given the additional stringencies for barristers, is testament to this.”
