Founding Partner, Advocate Barbara Corbett commented “The majority of the Jersey firms listed in the Legal 500 are far larger, with significantly greater resources. We are a leading family law firm in Jersey and we are passionate about what we do. We are delighted with our rankings this year, especially knowing how rigorous the assessment process is.”

Advocate Nick Le Quesne said “Simon advises banks and ultra-high net worth clients around the world as well as supporting and advising locals regarding Wills and LPAs. It has been a valuable addition to our family law office as many clients require advice on their estate planning and also should make a new will before a wedding or if a marriage has ended.”

Simon Lofthouse added “When we were advised by a Legal 500 representative that we had achieved a five out of five client satisfaction rating I was so proud of the team. Now to be listed on the Legal 500 after only establishing a Private Client Department in 2021 is a real honour.”
