Carey Olsen’s Guernsey office has appointed James Cooke as a senior associate in the firm's corporate and finance team.
Cooke joins Carey Olsen from another offshore law firm, having worked in Guernsey and the BVI and initially trained at Eversheds in the UK.
He has been regularly recognised by leading legal directory, Legal 500, for his work in the investment funds, commercial and banking sectors. He has been recommended by IFLR1000 as a rising star for investment funds, financial and corporate work since 2014.
Ben Morgan, partner in Carey Olsen's Guernsey office, says: “James’ senior appointment represents the continued growth of our corporate team and our commitment to delivering the highest level of client service.
“His extensive knowledge and experience will be a valuable addition to our corporate, finance and investment funds offering."
Cooke specialises in corporate and commercial matters including mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, investment funds and special-purpose acquisition companies, providing both Guernsey and BVI legal advice to clients. He also provides advice on capital markets, listings and restructuring matters as well as the regulatory law underpinning these transactions.
