Law firms David Benest Law and Hanson Renouf are to merge in the new year.
The new firm, Benest Corbett Renouf, will open its doors on 1 January 2016 and will have 18 lawyers, including five partners – Advocates David Benest, Barbara Corbett, Mark Renouf, Jeremy Heywood and Jean-Marie Renouf.
Hanson Renouf was founded in 2005 and has grown steadily over its 10-year history. As well as its core areas of litigation and family law, the firm offers a wide range of legal advice to both individual and commercial clients, including in the fields of property, wills and estates.
David Benest Law was established in 2013 by the former Jersey Managing Partner of Appleby. Its focus has been on clinical negligence and high-value personal injury work, trust and property litigation, and more recently divorce and ancillary matters.
The merger will build on the many years of collective experience of both firms in the litigation and family law fields.
