Law firm Baker & Partners has appointed Senior Associate Vicky Olivier in Jersey.
Vicky (shown in the main picture) relocated to the Channel Islands in 2022 and brings her multi-jurisdictional complex trusts, civil and commercial disputes expertise to the team.
As an Advocate of the High Court in South Africa and barrister in England and Wales with Lincoln’s Inn (currently non practicing), she has more than a decade’s experience in high value commercial and civil disputes acting for corporations, individuals, and as an internationally qualified mediator and arbitrator.
Vicky has established herself as a client focused lawyer, closely working with law firms and counsel both in the UK and internationally. She often acts on behalf of protectors, trustees, and beneficiaries in complex multi-jurisdictional international trust litigation, involving trust restructuring, allegations of breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, and mismanagement and various other administrative actions.
Vicky’s appointment to Baker & Partners follows the firm’s expanded premises in Jersey earlier this year to accommodate the firm’s growth plans, and the appointment of Associate Georgina Farley in June who joined the team from the Law Officers’ Department. Georgina will assist with the firm’s established practice acting for the prosecution and the defence in matters of serious crime.
Managing Partner, Stephen Baker commented: “Vicky and Georgina’s appointments are as a result of our steady growth in multi-jurisdictional dispute caseload including complex trusts and commercial and civil litigation. I am delighted that the team continues to develop to meet our client’s increasing needs.”
Vicky added “Jersey continues to evolve and lead in the financial and legal services landscape and I’m delighted to have joined such a dynamic firm who are focused on continued multi-jurisdictional growth to meet their client’s needs. I look forward to contributing meaningfully to the firm’s continued success and advancing my career in an environment that values growth, collaboration, and impact.”
