Collas Crill makes new partner promotion

Wednesday 16 January 2019

Collas Crill has strengthened its dispute resolution team in Jersey with the promotion of a new partner.

Simon Hurry will be taking on the new role, who joined the firm in 2008.

Since then, the firm says he has developed a practice focused on high-value commercial litigation and insolvency in a contentious and non-contentious context, with an adjunct specialism in employment law.

In 2015, he was recognised as the Jersey Law Society's 'Junior Lawyer of the Year' and is ranked for dispute resolution in both Chambers & Partners and the Legal 500.

He said: “This is a particularly exciting time to join the dispute resolution partnership in Jersey. The dispute resolution team continues to go from strength-to-strength and establish itself as a leading service provider in an increasingly diverse range of specialisms. The team's passion to excel and go the extra mile for our clients has consistently set us apart from our competitors. 

“I hope to continue to nurture and develop this ethos, not only in the dispute resolution team in Jersey but across the firm globally.”

Nuno Santos-Costa, Managing Partner in Jersey, said: “It gives me the greatest pleasure to welcome Simon to the Collas Crill partnership.

“Simon thoroughly deserves his partnership status having excelled in every area of his legal practice and matured as a lawyer over the years to become a key figure in the Collas Crill legal team.

“Since I first interviewed Simon in 2008 I knew that he had the potential to become a partner of the firm and I am delighted that he has now achieved that well-deserved goal."
