Simon Gould > Mourant > St Helier, Jersey > Lawyer Profile

Highly sought after in the funds space, Mourant’s ‘commercial, technical and practical‘ finance and corporate vertical acts for creditors and debtors alike. Practice head Gareth Rigby thrives in the acquisition finance field, having recently led on transactions for blue-chip private equity clients, banks and alternative lenders. Simon Gould and Sarah Huelin spearhead the specialist financial regulatory offering; recent instructions included LIBOR transitions and third-party investment management regulation. Further key team members include James Hill, the ‘exceptional‘ Mark Chambers, Jon Woolrich, recently promoted partner Neil McCarroll and counsel James Daniel, who all lend their hands to real estate, acquisition and leveraged financing mandates.

At Mourant, contentious regulatory mandates are led by Mathew Cook, whose primary strengths include representing the interests of financial institutions in freezing orders and challenges to information requests under the TIEA framework. Heading up the non-contentious contingent, Simon Gould (who is ‘extremely personable and technically brilliant‘) advises global banks, insurance companies and other regulated entities on licensing requirements, AML obligations and the restructuring of regulated corporate businesses. With ‘extensive knowledge and a safe pair of hands‘, Sarah Huelin is another key partner for non-contentious work, often advising on the transparency issues of beneficial ownership.
