  • contentious probate matters;
  • corporate disputes, including asset tracing and enforcement of foreign judgments;
  • criminal litigation, having appeared in a large number of high profile cases, including the first ever prosecution for money laundering in Jersey which went to the Privy Council for determination; 
  • cases involving capacity issues including court appointments of Case Delegate (acting to manage the financial affairs of an individual lacking capacity - broadly speaking, the Jersey equivalent to Guardianships) in two particularly complex cases and cases involving the appointment of Tuteur to deal with a minor's property.
