Newly promoted senior associates in Guernsey comprise commercial litigation and restructuring lawyer Steven Balmer, employment law specialist Lois Madden, trusts and private wealth lawyer Kirsty McGeough, corporate and investment funds lawyer Jamie Oldfield, and commercial property law specialist Kieran Ogilvie. 

Across the Carey Olsen group, the firm has announced a further six promotions to counsel or senior associate.
