Collas Crill's Michael Adkins, who was sworn in as a Guernsey Advocate last week, has been promoted to a partner of the firm.
Michael (pictured) works in Collas Crill's Dispute Resolution team specialising in contentious work in the financial services sector, focusing on insolvency and regulatory disputes.
Collas Crill's head of Dispute Resolution, Christian Hay, said: "Michael is an exceptionally committed lawyer and an integral part of Collas Crill's commercial Dispute Resolution team. His considerable experience has been at the core of the firm's Risk & Regulatory practice, and he continues to play a significant part in the firm's most significant cases.
"We are delighted to see Michael called as a Guernsey Advocate, reflecting his commitment to Guernsey and Collas Crill."
Prior to moving to Guernsey and Collas Crill in 2009, he worked with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), Australia's corporate and financial services regulator, where he was involved in some of the most significant and high profile enforcement matters handled by ASIC in the areas of financial services, regulatory compliance and corporate insolvency.
