Guernsey-based law firm Walkers has promoted Kim Paiva to the role of Senior Counsel.
A corporate and finance lawyer, Kim joined AO Hall – which became part of Walkers last year – as an Associate in 2010, having moved from her native South Africa. She was promoted to Senior Associate at Walkers four years later.
In her new role, Kim will be responsible for establishing her own practice areas and client base.
She commented: "Since we merged with Walkers, we have received an increasing number of aircraft financing and off-lease registration work – a new area of business that’s come out of the Walkers network."
