Firm promotions: Collas Crill announces number of appointments

Collas Crill has made a number of promotions within its legal and business services teams in the Channel Islands.

Jersey-based Fiona Wilson and Guernsey-based Gareth Morgan have both been promoted to group partner.

Wilson's practice spans contentious and non-contentious regulatory matters and mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructurings and shareholders agreements particularly in relation to trading and regulated businesses. She joined Collas Crill in 2016 and is part of the firm's cross-departmental risk and regulatory team. 

Morgan, who joined Collas Crill as a paralegal and qualified with the firm in 2009, sits within the corporate, finance and funds team. He has taken a key role in the development of the firm's funds practice in Guernsey over the last four years.

Lynne Calder has been promoted to Of Counsel in Jersey's dispute resolution team and has built strong client relationships since joining the firm in 2016. She undertakes a wide range of civil and commercial and regulatory matters with particular emphasis on construction disputes, contentious trusts, banking litigation, property and professional negligence claims. 

Kayleigh Oliver, promoted to paralegal in the firm's dispute resolution team in Guernsey, joined Collas Crill as a legal assistant in September 2018 and is part-way through her CILEX legal executive qualification. 

Group managing partner Jason Romer commented: 'My congratulations to all those who've been promoted this year. They have all demonstrated that they are more than ready to take on their next role, have a passion for their work and show a real commitment to the firm.'

'Our success as a firm is entirely down to our people. Their dedication, expertise and collaborative efforts have allowed us to continue to grow and achieve more fantastic results in what has been another challenging year globally.'
