BVI banking and finance specialist Christian Burns-Di Lauro has become a Partner at Ogier.
Christian, who joined Ogier in Jersey as an Associate in 2014, has also worked in the firm's BVI and Cayman offices. He is currently the only specialist BVI Banking and Finance Partner based in the Channel Islands. His earlier career included five years with Addleshaw Goddard.
As part of the firm's Banking and Finance team, Christian represents a wide range of financial institutions and companies on banking, finance and restructuring transactions.
With a focus on real estate finance, derivative transactions and non-contentious and consensual insolvency and credit restructuring, Christian has a broad understanding of complex cross-border transactions.
Simon Schilder, who leads Ogier's BVI in Europe team, said: "Christian becomes the second full-time BVI Partner practising in the non-contentious areas of the wider BVI Europe team at Ogier, supplementing our other BVI Europe Partners who split their practices between BVI law and the law of their home jurisdiction."
