Bedell Cristin

Bedell Cristin‘s litigators are equally adept at defending the interests of trustees and beneficiaries as they are safeguarding the rights of directors and shareholders in unfair prejudice claims. Robert Gardner, who heads the practice and splits time between London and Jersey, takes instruction pertaining to breaches of trust, and mistake and rectification claims, in addition to appearing for parties in insolvency proceedings. Edward Drummond is regularly tasked with the representation of trustees or beneficiaries, alongside his commercial and regulatory disputes work, while Robert Christie is particularly noted for his contentious trusts practice, including breach of trust and duty claims. Sonia Shah handles both trust and commercial disputes. Ogier’s Samantha Hoare joined the team in April 2026.
