Tony Del Amo, Senior Partner at law firm Le Gallais & Luce, has been voted in as the new President of the Chambre des Ecrivains (Jersey Solicitors), making him the third person in recent years from Le Gallais & Luce to hold the position.
As President, Tony is entitled to take part in the discussions of the Law Society of Jersey Committee, as an ex officio member. The committee meets regularly to consider all matters that affect the future of the legal profession.
Tony said he was keen to use his time as President to promote the understanding of the role of a Jersey Solicitor within the wider community.
“I would like to be able to make the public more aware of the separate roles of Advocates and Solicitors," he said, "and to encourage those in the profession who do not wish to practice at the bar to remain within the profession as Ecrivains (Solicitors) rather than converting to the bar as an Advocate, where their role within their firm does not actually require it.”
Tony will also be available for discussion with Jersey Solicitors on any matters affecting them.
