Bedell Cristin has more than 20 lawyers recognised in the latest Legal 500 UK 2021 leading lawyer rankings.

Legal 500, one of the leading legal international directories, undertakes the largest and most comprehensive UK survey of client satisfaction across the UK annually. Bedell Cristin lawyers across a broad range of disciplines in Guernsey, Jersey and London have been recognised including four who have been listed in their individual ranking categories for the first time. The categories are divided into four: ‘Hall of Fame’, ‘Leading Individual’, ‘Next Generation Partner’ and ‘Rising Stars’.

The newcomers to the list are led by Guy Westmacott, partner in the Corporate and Commercial team in Jersey, who joins in the Leading Individual category. Others new to the list are Tom Davies, from the London office, recognised in the Next Generation Partner category, while in Guernsey, Dylan Latimer, already listed as a Next Generation Partner in Investment Funds is added also to Banking and Finance and Sukhvinder Chana, from the London office, who joins the list of Rising Stars.

Meanwhile, three of the firm’s teams - Capital Markets, Insurance and Private Client, Trusts and Tax - were also included in the top tier for practice areas. Among a wide ranging series of positive comments from clients, the practice areas are described as offering ‘a commercial sensibility and top quality execution’, ‘out of the box thinking’ and ‘never … anything less than an excellent service…’.
