Rebecca’s practice covers all aspects of dispute resolution, in particular contentious trusts, cross border insolvency and restructuring and property disputes.

Rebecca is Partner in Ogier’s Jersey Dispute Resolution team. Rebecca has significant experience across a broad range of commercial litigation matters, trust disputes, cross border insolvency and restructuring and property disputes.  She regularly advises local and international clients in actions often involving multiple parties in multiple jurisdictions from pre-litigation through to trial and often works closely with Ogier’s Local Legal Services team advising HNW clients on contentious property related matters.

Work highlights include:

• In collaboration with Corporate and Banking, advising a leading real estate provider in respect of its administration and related cross border issues.

• Advising a HNW client in respect a construction dispute concerning a substantial residential development and multiple related professional negligence claims.

Recognised in The Legal 500 as a Rising Star and noted for having “built a strong cross border contentious insolvency practice”, Rebecca has also been named in Citywealth’s Top 200 IFC Powerwomen and recognised in Chambers & Partners and in the Citywealth Leaders’ List.  She has been described by clients as “an impressive client-focussed, pragmatic and commercial lawyer with an excellent client manner”, and praised for her “competent, commercial, pragmatic, thorough and efficient approach”.
