Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'Clearly the best practice in Jersey, combining unparalleled family and offshore structure knowhow.'
- 'Lauren Glynn is super responsive, understood the issues immediately and was able to support the client through a very difficult and complex ultra-high net worth divorce.'
- 'In my experience the work that came out of this firm is by far the best I had in Jersey. Prior to my experience with Carey Olsen, I was assigned two firms but both those firms paled in comparison as the staff were clearly intimidated by the opposing firms. Carey Olsen is unwavering in its skill.'
- 'Lauren is unusually intelligent, skilled, confident, unwavering and uncompromising. Her mode of operation encompasses unmitigated truth and integrity. Consequently, facing very challenging circumstances, Lauren turned my case around. I won a case I never could have won without her advocacy and superior skill set.'
- 'The team, led by Lauren Glynn, provides tailored, practical and sensible advice. Their approach is one about finding a solution for the parties which will meet the needs of the parties without increasing the emotional costs.'
- 'Lauren Glynn is an effective advocate, both in Court and in correspondence.'
