Sophie Christodoulou
Work Department
Litigation and Insolvency practice
Position
I’m a Senior Associate within the Litigation and Insolvency practice of the BVI office. I deal with a broad range of matters including director, shareholder, and general company disputes, insolvency matters, and trust related disputes. I regularly work on injunctions, appeals, and interim applications, as well as running cases to trial.
Career
I have practiced in the BVI since January 2019, working across time zones with global teams, with significant Court exposure.
Previously I worked for Addleshaw Goddard LLP in the UK, acting for some of their largest FTSE 100 clients (including a major supermarket chain and several national high street retailers) power companies and an investment fund. Prior to that, I trained with and qualified into the commercial litigation department of Irwin Mitchell LLP, working on a wide range of commercial disputes and gaining a significant amount of experience in alternative dispute resolution.

Lawyer Rankings
British Virgin Islands > Dispute resolution
(Rising stars)Mourant‘s ‘extremely knowledgeable‘ team is a ‘go-to for complex trusts matters in the BVI’, as well as shareholders disputes and fraud cases. Counting banks, trusts and high-net-worth individuals as clients, the group is particularly noted for its cross-border expertise, where it also utilises the firm’s practitioners in Cayman and Hong Kong. Team leader Eleanor Morgan is described as ‘responsive and pragmatic’ and handles trust and probate litigation, commercial disputes and insolvency cases. Other standout team members include Shane Donovan, who is a trusted resource for liquidators and creditors seeking advice on complex disputes with connections to BVI law; and Jennifer Jenkins, whose practice consistently draws in major multinational corporations. Sophie Christodoulou is the key name at counsel level, and senior associate Greg O’Keefe-Davis is also recommended.
