Bedell Cristin property lawyer Hannah Robinson has been sworn in as a Jersey Advocate before the Island's Royal Court.

Hannah – a senior associate in Bedell's top-tier ranked property law team – has ten years' experience of onshore and offshore practice as a real estate lawyer, and is recognised by independent legal directory Chambers & Partners as an "Associate to Watch", and by Legal 500 as a "Rising Star".

Hannah is a member of the team led by partner Jeff O'Boyle that focuses on property law, high-value residency, development, property finance and landlord & tenant matters.

After being sworn in on Thursday 7 December she has become the third Jersey Advocate on the team, alongside Jeff and counsel Jane Needham.

The team are advisers to major developers in the Island, to lenders, and to public bodies.

Jeff said: "We are delighted for Hannah – property law in Jersey is a specialist and technical field of practice and qualification as a Jersey Advocate is an important step for any Jersey property lawyer.

"Hannah has made a significant contribution to the growth of our top-tier practice in the five years that she has been with us, and to be recognised by both Chambers & Partners and Legal 500 demonstrates how highly she is regarded by clients."

Tim Pearce, the Global Managing Partner of Bedell Cristin, added: "On behalf of all of the partners at Bedell Cristin, congratulations to Hannah on qualifying as a Jersey Advocate – the process is a tough one, and it is all the more impressive to have achieved what she has during a period that has been impacted by the pandemic lockdowns."
