Collas Crill ranked in top tier by Legal 500

Friday 10 October 2014

Collas Crill's Jersey dispute resolution team has been ranked as a top tier practice by the industry commentators, Legal 500.

The Legal 500 United Kingdom 2014 has promoted Collas Crill's team to top of the league and says of its head, partner Advocate Nuno Santos-Costa, that his “reputation as one of Jersey’s most respected and accomplished lawyers is fully deserved”.

Partner Advocate Danny Le Maistre was noted as “extremely professional” and partner Advocate Damian James was named to taking “a proactive approach to case management”.

 Advocate Santos-Costa said: "The ranking is particularly pleasing given that Jersey is renowned on an international scale as providing exemplary litigation services in circumstances where the level of work that is undertaken is of an extremely high calibre and we as a jurisdiction are fortunate indeed to have truly exceptional lawyers working in this area.

"Collas Crill's dispute resolution team in Jersey has worked tremendously hard over the past three years and can justifiably be proud of its position at the forefront of Jersey litigation, dealing as it does with a vast number of highly complicated and labour intensive instructions where sophisticated clients require a first class service, which they undoubtedly get from the team at Colas Crill."

Collas Crill has one of the largest dispute resolution practices in the Channel Islands. The team has been involved in the majority of the largest cases in Jersey in recent years and has an unbroken track record of achieving significant results in substantial cases covering contentious trusts, fraud and asset-tracing, funds and financial services litigation, heavyweight contract cases, insolvency, regulatory cases and property and planning work.
