Baker & Partners has welcomed three Senior Associates across its Jersey, London and British Virgin Islands offices.
In Jersey, Tom Hall (pictured) joins from Ogier. He is recognised in the Legal 500 2026 for “the clarity of his advice” and was described in the Legal 500 2025 as “an excellent senior associate, responsive and with real expertise in sanctions and regulatory matters”.
Tom is experienced in advising on high-value, multi-jurisdictional commercial disputes, notably those involving fraud and asset recovery, contentious regulatory and white-collar crime matters, and complex trust and fund disputes.
Olena Golovtchouk has joined the firm’s British Virgin Islands office, bringing extensive experience in commercial litigation and international arbitration, having previously worked at Gateley Legal and Osborne Clarke. Olena has advised on complex international disputes and regulatory matters and has particular experience acting in cross-border proceedings.
Tom and Olena’s appointments follow the recent arrival of Owen Vanstone-Hallam, who joined the firm’s London office in September. Owen trained at Slaughter & May before working as a consultant solicitor, and specialises in complex cross-border commercial disputes, insolvency, fraud and asset recovery matters. He has acted on a number of high-profile multi-jurisdictional matters and advises clients across a range of sectors.
Commenting on the appointments, Managing Partner Stephen Baker said: “Tom, Owen and Olena each bring valuable experience from leading firms, strengthening our ability to support clients across multiple jurisdictions. I’m delighted to welcome them all to Baker & Partners.”
