Wednesday 23 September 2015

A Jersey litigation firm which was founded just over two years ago is celebrating after receiving plaudits from its clients and peers in industry "bible", The Legal 500.

David Benest Law, which has two partners and employs five further staff, has this year moved up two tiers after being recognised for its performance in offshore dispute resolution. The firm, which research found to be "truly excellent in every respect", also scored points for the presence of both its partners in and out of the court room.

Recently appointed partner, Jeremy Heywood, has been noted as a "Rising Star", whilst managing partner David Benest has also received the accolade of being a leading individual for dispute resolution in Jersey.  Advocate Benest was also praised as being "immensely knowledgeable, razor sharp and utterly charming" when dealing with clients and opposing lawyers. 

Commenting on the recently published Legal 500 results, Advocate Benest said:  "To raise our ranking by two tiers for dispute resolution since last September is a real achievement and a testament to both the calibre of our team and the quality of the work that we pride ourselves on providing to our clients."
