Two new advocates at Walkers

Thursday 23 December 2021

Walkers has added two new Advocates to its banking and finance team.

Advocate Elaine Kelly and newly-qualified Advocate Rebecca Lever have joined the Jersey team.

Elaine has been in private practice since 2008 and has been a Jersey Advocate since 2012, focusing on borrowing in respect of real estate acquisition and development projects and specialising in the use of Jersey structures and UK real estate assets.

Elaine was a partner in another Jersey law firm for five years before joining Walkers' team, and is recognised by Legal 500 as a Next Generation Partner.

Partner Nigel Weston said: "We are delighted to welcome Elaine and Rebecca to Walkers – Elaine is a very approachable lawyer with deep experience in real estate financing matters who fits well into the culture of our team.

"Rebecca's arrival adds very welcome expertise in both real estate and fund finance matters.

"We continue to be focused on growing the practice in response to client demand, and Elaine and Rebecca's arrivals make them excellent additions to the team."

Managing Director of the Jersey office, Jonathan Heaney, said: "We are very pleased to see recruitment continuing across our legal practice groups in the Jersey office, and to be able to add two Jersey-qualified lawyers is of real benefit to our Banking & Finance group, and to our clients."
