Led by Tim Hart, Appleby’s property group acted for Dandara in the completion of the complex legal structuring of its Castle Quay development at St Helier Waterfront. John Bisson is ‘a very able advocate’, and Andrew Pim has a substantial development practice.

Carey Olsen ‘understands the commerciality of deals’. The practice acted for Sandiper in its sale to Waitrose of supermarket premises and commercial sites. Christopher Philpott is ‘a lawyer you can trust’; the ‘very good’ Alex Ohlsson is recognised for his expertise in major development projects; and the ‘excellent’ John Kelleher is noted for contentious property law matters, including planning appeals and development disputes.

Mourant Ozannes’ recent merger added further depth to the property practice, with the additional resource of legacy Ozannes partner Marcus Stone. Highlights included acting for Lloyds Banking Group on the property and financing aspects of the sale by Sandpiper of supermarkets and other property to Waitrose. The ‘organised and tenacious’ Wendy Lambert is also sought after in respect of migration and housing advice, as well as planning appeals and development advice. Gavin Renault is likewise recommended.

Ogier advised on Waitrose’s headline acquisition of substantial retail businesses in Jersey, and acted for Sandpiper on multiple pre-let development agreements. Chris Renouf has ‘a quiet dignity which makes contact with him very enjoyable’. Peter Bertram is a key contact.

Bedell Cristin ‘puts in a solid performance’. The practice acted as Jersey property counsel to RHJ International in relation to the completion of its acquisition of the Kleinwort Benson Group from Commerzbank. Guy Le Sueur and senior associate Carl Parslow are praised by clients.

Collas Crill acted in the £6.5m acquisition of 2 Hill Street and the £4.5m sale of Greenhills Hotel. Dandara is a client. Paul Harben is praised as providing ‘well-thought-out, detailed options’.

Walkers’ ‘response times are sharp’. The practice provided lease surrender advice to Deloitte in relation to the liquidation of Principles and Barratts Shoes. Julie Melia ‘provides good practical advice and is very approachable’.

At Viberts Jersey Lawyers, James Lawrence’s primary focus is advising on the purchase and financing of development property.

Voisin acted for Bridgemere Developments in respect of the Portlet Bay Development. Tara Family has developed a client base in the retail market.
