Experienced employment lawyer Marianne Russell has joined Bedell Cristin as the firm’s Head of Employment, covering Jersey and Guernsey law.
Marianne (pictured) – who has previously been a group partner in another firm, and who has worked in-house at a regulated financial services business in the Channel Islands – qualified as a lawyer in 2015 and has experience of both onshore and offshore practice.
She specialises in advising regulated employers on strategy, employment law disputes, M&A integration and policies and procedures.
Partner Edward Drummond said: “We are delighted to welcome Marianne aboard – her broad range of experience in employment law matters and her direct experience in-house in a regulated financial services business mean that she understands the needs and expectations of our client base.
“Being able to work with our employment law team in Jersey and Guernsey also enables her to add value to clients who work across both jurisdictions.”
Marianne is also an accredited mediator and a member of the Jersey Employment Forum, a consultative body that liaises with the Government of Jersey about changes to employment law.
