http://www.acquisition-intl.com/2015-legal-awards M&A awards 64 LEGAL awards ~ Best Litigation Firm - Channel Islands FranckelLaw, established in October 2008, is a specialist litigation and dispute resolution firm which draws upon the expertise and experience of Advocate Simon Franckel, to provide quality legal services. Simon Franckel comments on what this business award, Best Litigation Firm - Channel Islands, means for the firm and how it was achieved. “I am delighted with the recognition the efforts of the firm have been given. Receiving this business award means a great deal to a small firm such as FranckelLaw, which does not have the full weight of a marketing department nor a significant marketing budget, to make sure that the industry knows of our existence and the services we have to offer” Franckel explains. “In my view, the award for Best Litigation Firm – Channel Islands reflects a recognition of the level of experience and expertise which we offer our clients in litigation and dispute resolution matters, across a number of disci- plines including our core experience in trusts and fiduciary law but also encompassing professional negligence claims, insolvency and Compliance” Franckel underlines. Whilst FranckelLaw represent clients in relation to a wide range of disputes, they specialize in advice and assis- tance in relation to trust disputes, as reflected in this business award for the Best Litigation Firm in the Channel Islands.Their clients are trustees, HNWI and Protectors. “Whilst there can be advantages to a larger firm, we firmly believe that in the area of client service we have a real competitive edge. It is our philosophy that the firm’s clients are entitled to high service levels from a fee-earner with whom they are familiar” Franckel explains. Challenges in the industry and the future “As the trust and financial services industry is constantly changing and evolving to address new challenges, I believe we benefit from Jersey being a small jurisdiction” Franckel reveals. “The Jersey Legal Information Board reports on all judgments of any significance. The Royal Court is very busy at the moment. The result is an efficient, regular source of significant trust-related decisions, often of relevance beyond this jurisdiction. We also retain good connections with other firms and professional advisers in other jurisdictions, all in the effort to remain at the forefront of emerging developments and trends, ensuring that our services are always ahead of the competition” he goes on to explain. “As we look to the future we are certain that FranckelLaw will continue to grow; since we were established, the emphasis has been on steady growth whilst ensuring that we are capable of maintaining the level of service which our clients have come to expect from us” Franckel concludes.
