Bedell Cristin appoints new litigation partner

Bedell Cristin has recruited Robert Christie, a leading litigation lawyer, to join the practice in Jersey as a Partner.

Robert, a Jersey Advocate and qualified English and British Virgin Islands (BVI) Barrister, specialises in trusts, company, commercial and insolvency litigation. In his career, he has regularly been instructed in international litigation matters involving a range of the leading offshore jurisdictions, and he has advised on a broad selection of trust, company, commercial, fraud, asset tracing and insolvency cases.

A graduate from Oxford University, Robert was called to the English Bar in 2006, practising at Radcliffe Chambers in Lincoln’s Inn, London. Between 2012 and 2015 he worked for a major offshore law firm in the BVI before moving to Jersey where he joined, and subsequently became a partner of, Dickinson Gleeson.

Only last month he was named IFC Partner of the Year at the Citywealth Future Leaders Awards in recognition of the results achieved for his clients.
