Walkers partners Rajah Abusrewil and Sarah Brehaut have been named in a new list of the top 20 wealth management and trusts professionals in Guernsey.

The pair are two of only five lawyers included on Citywealth's Leader's List for Guernsey, and no law firm has more practitioners on the list than Walkers.

Rajah is a group partner in Walkers' Private Capital & Trusts team, and Sarah is a partner in the Insolvency and Dispute Resolution team, specialising in contentious trusts matters – she is also the current Bâtonnier, or Head of the Guernsey Bar.

Strategic growth across the Channel Islands has seen the number of lawyers in Walkers' Guernsey office increase by 50% in the last 12 months, and the growth is set to continue with the arrival of a new partner at the start of next year.

Rajah said: "All independent recognition is very welcome, but it's particularly great to receive this kind of attention, because Citywealth's Leader's List is based on ratings and reviews from peers and contacts."

Sarah added: "We have worked particularly hard over the last couple of years at Walkers not just to grow strategically and recruit in a very targeted way, but also to do so in a manner that has not disrupted the culture and standards that we have.

"Recent recognition not just for individuals but also for wider teams is showing that clients continue to value the quality of our work and the way that we operate."
