Carys Thornton has joined Bedell Cristin’s Guernsey Litigation and Dispute Resolution team.
Carys, (pictured) who joins the team as an associate, trained with Brabners LLP in Liverpool and qualified as an England & Wales Solicitor in 2024.
Carys graduated with a first-class BA Hons in History from King’s College London 2019 before choosing law as her career. She completed the Graduate Diploma in Law in 2020, followed by the Legal Practice Course and Masters at the University of Law in 2021 gaining a distinction in both. Following completion of the academic stage Carys then gained valuable experience working with regional firms in North Wales prior to obtaining her Training Contract with Brabners where she qualified.
Bedell Cristin’s Guernsey Litigation and Dispute Resolution team is led by partners Alasdair Davidson, Jon Barclay and Robert Fullman comprising lawyers from junior associate level through to counsel working from the firm’s Guernsey and London offices.
Alasdair said: “We are so pleased to welcome Carys to the team – she has already had some exposure to offshore litigation and joins us at a time of growth when we are seeing instructions increase across our key areas of trusts disputes, commercial litigation and insolvency.
“Carys’ arrival and the return of Harry King to the group, now that he has qualified through our Associate Training Programme, add to our capacity and bench strength at a time our global litigation practice is seeing a marked rise in activity across our offices and jurisdictions.”
