Local lawyer sets up litigation and dispute firm

Wednesday 29 November 2017

A local lawyer with 25 years' experience has set up a new law firm specialising exclusively in litigation and dispute resolution work.

Advocate Paul Nicholls, who formerly headed up the litigation and dispute resolution department of a large global offshore firm has now established Nicholls Law, based at 4 Wharf Street.

The firm says that, in addition to offering a competitive hourly rate, they will also offer a range of flexible fee arrangements including no win no fee, deferred fee and fixed fee agreements, and every client will be offered a free initial consultation.

Advocate Nicholls said: “My aim is to offer an unbeatable combination of accessibility, experience, quality and value.  I strongly believe that the Jersey legal market is changing. I also believe that Jersey law firms need to adapt to be able to offer a much more affordable, flexible and timely level of service for clients.

“I hope to be able to position myself as a credible alternative to many of the existing Jersey law firms.  That credibility comes not from the size of my firm, but from my experience, acumen and proven ability to conduct this type of work.”
