“Their dedication has helped strengthen our Jersey business as we continue to grow. Each of those promoted has had a significant impact on their individual teams and the service our clients receive.”
Fraser Hern, head of Walkers’ Channel Islands business, added: “The record-breaking promotion round for the firm is a bold signal of its long-term growth strategy and talent-first culture. It comes as the firm continues to strengthen its global reach to better support clients across all practice lines.”
“I am delighted to see the promotion of so many talented people in our business, including in Jersey and in Guernsey. Given that we are a business that is fortunate to continue to grow and prosper at record levels, that is a very strong indication of the regard in which the Jersey and Guernsey practices are held, and the contribution that they make. We look forward to seeing more of the same next year.”
