Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Tim Corfield is a star litigator - the go-to partner for a financial services dispute - a fist of steel in court and a great team player.’
‘Carey Olsen has a tremendous reputation across all specialist areas of the firm, and in particular in dispute resolution, for providing the perfect combination of professionalism and experience, coupled with the highest quality strategic, technical and legal advice.’
‘Tim Bamford and John Greenfield have both been outstanding in what has been a regulatory dispute that has run for over 8 years, of which they have legally represented me for the last 4 years. The volume of documentation they have had to absorb and disseminate has been incredible yet I have felt absolutely reassured throughout that they have immediately identified, understood and defended all material matters.’
‘We always have clear and timely communication with Tim Bamford, and he takes the time during our initial meetings to understand the insurance product as well as the circumstances that have led to us requiring legal assistance. Whether it is just a legal opinion on a coverage determination or a detailed legal response as a result of legal action being threatened, both are handled with the same high level of professionalism one would expect from Careys.’
‘Carey Olsen boasts one of the most well-qualified and well-resourced insolvency and litigation teams in Guernsey, offering deep expertise across contentious and non-contentious matters. Their track record in handling complex restructurings, liquidations, and creditor disputes makes them a go-to firm for those seeking strategic and commercially astute legal advice in challenging financial situations.’
‘Dave Jones stands out as a pragmatic and highly skilled advocate who knows when to take a firm stance in litigation but remains approachable and solutions-focused. He is particularly valued in complex engagements where insolvency practitioners need both technical confidence and practical guidance, ensuring they can navigate difficult cases with certainty and support.’
