Simon is one of the very best litigators and advocates in Guernsey; a heavyweight of the Guernsey Bar. His greatest strength lies in his thoroughness and understanding of the key issues in dispute, which in turn creates a calmness and persuasiveness in the delivery of his advocacy. Clients love him because of his attention to detail and caring most about what matters to them so as to strategise the best way to achieve that. Simply, he is top of the list when looking at advocates in the jurisdiction.

Simon is one of the leading advocates on Guernsey. He is routinely retained for the most significant commercial and trust matters on the island ' for good reason. No one has a better understanding of Guernsey law and procedure and no one communicates that knowledge more effectively in court. In addition, Simon is a pleasure to work with. He is responsive and attentive to his clients. We entrusted him with our clients most significant litigation and he did not disappoint.

Litigation with combined claims of US$1.5 billion

Litigation with combined claims of US$1.5 billion

I am acting as adviser in Guernsey’s largest ever piece of substantive litigation, advising the Carlyle Group and Carlyle Investment Management LLC, both of which are defending claims brought by the liquidators of Carlyle Capital Corporation Limited, a Guernsey investment fund, which was placed into compulsory liquidation in 2008. The combined claims against all of the defendants seek around US$1.5 billion and were commenced initially in July 2010, following which the parties were engaged in a two year dispute in relation to the forum of the litigation.
