Bedell Cristin lawyers named in Channel Islands top young professionals’ list

Jasmin Davies, Senior Associate at Bedell Cristin in Guernsey, and Sonia Shah, Associate in Jersey, have been recognised as two of 2020’s top 35 private client practitioners under the age of 35 in the Channel Islands by eprivateclient.

The wealth management publication runs its Top 35 Under 35 initiative annually to identify the rising stars of the private client community, compiled through a judging process which considers the strength of the individuals’ achievements over the past year.

Jasmin is well known for her contentious and non-contentious trusts work for which she was also recognised by Legal 500. She is an Advocate of the Royal Court of Guernsey and dual-qualified as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of Queensland/the High Court of Australia and as a solicitor in England and Wales. She has contributed to legal publications such as the Trusts & Trustees Journal, the INSOL World journal and sits on the committee of the Guernsey International Legal Association.

Sonia has established a strong reputation for her commercial and contentious trusts litigation work, regularly assisting with complex applications and trial work before the Royal Court and Court of Appeal in Jersey. She works across numerous cases and advises leading onshore law firms, fiduciaries and high net worth individuals on trust, commercial, insolvency and regulatory matters and has also acted for trustees and beneficiaries internationally.

“Jasmin and Sonia embody Bedell Cristin's commitment to strong client service and continue to deliver exceptional work on a daily basis,” said Tim Pearce, global managing partner of Bedell Cristin.

“We’re proud of their recognition as top young professionals by eprivateclient.”
