Leading Investment Funds & Corporate lawyer Gareth Morgan has joined Walkers team in Guernsey in a lateral partner hire from another offshore law firm.
Gareth, who is recognised by Chambers and Partners and Legal
500, joins fellow Guernsey based Investment Funds & Corporate
partners Matt Sanders and Craig Cordle.
Gareth has almost 20 years' experience in private practice as
an offshore lawyer in Guernsey and specialises in complex fund and
corporate structuring.
He trained and qualified with his previous firm in Guernsey where
he spent time in their Cayman office and at an independent London
law firm.
Matt Sanders, the managing partner of Walkers Guernsey office,
said: "We are delighted to welcome Gareth and his exemplary
commercially focused approach to our team in Guernsey."
"We continue to build out our team here in Guernsey, working
collaboratively with our colleagues in London, Jersey and Dublin,
as our cross-jurisdictional model continues to gain significant
traction with clients and intermediaries."
Gareth added, "I'm excited to be joining Walkers and
working with Matt, Craig and the rest of the Guernsey team in
advising our clients on institutional fund matters, private
capital, corporate structures and mergers and
acquisitions".
Walkers also recently announced their largest-ever global
promotions round – a significant milestone in their 60-year
history. This included a record number of promotions across their
Channel Islands business, which saw three new partners, a new
senior counsel and two new senior associates in Guernsey.
Gareth's appointment follows Investment Funds & Corporate
partner Simon Hopwood joining the Walkers team in Jersey last month
as the Channel Islands arm of the business continues to grow and
prosper at record levels.
