Collas Day has boosted its funds practice with the recruitment of funds experts Wayne Atkinson and Susan O'Leary. Wayne joins the firm as a Senior Associate from international firm Walkers in the British Virgin Islands where his practice focused on investment funds and general corporate transactions. Prior to Walkers he worked in London at Herbert Smith in the firm's investment funds and regulatory team.
Susan moved to Guernsey from leading Dublin firm Dillon Eustace at the end of the summer. Her expertise covers investment funds and financial services; her previous firm was an industry leader in these fields. During her time at Dillon Eustace, Susan was seconded to a leading French Investment Bank where she provided advice on Irish and Cayman Island domiciled Investment Funds.
Sean Cheong, Partner in the Commercial Department said, "We are delighted to welcome Wayne and Susan to our team. We have over recent months, noted a steady increase in funds activity, particularly in new funds set-up, financial services and regulatory advisory services as we continue to attract a greater market share and grow the market overall. In anticipation of this growing demand for funds and regulatory services, we have recruited individuals with international experience in key areas which we feel are vital in today's global marketplace."
