Baker & Partners is Jersey’s leading independent offshore specialist litigation firm. The firm has always maintained a conflict-free model having no relationship with an associated financial or fiduciary services business.
Baker & Partners is unique among Jersey firms in being led by a partnership of very experienced courtroom advocates who have between them conducted a very large number of trials both in England and Jersey. This has earned the firm a reputation for the kind of forensic and incisive analysis of a dispute that is the hallmark of the English bar.
The firm has acted in some of the most substantial Jersey litigation including contentious trust and commercial matters, fraud, asset recovery and regulatory cases. Our work is often highly complex and usually has an international component. Baker & Partners acts for blue chip companies, trustees, beneficiaries, high net worth individuals and governments. The firm has been responsible for recovering many hundreds of millions of pounds on behalf of corporations, individuals and governments.
Among recent major cases in which the firm has acted are Crociani v Crociani, Trilogy Management Limited v YT, Sheyko vs Consolidated Minerals, Dalemont v Senatorov, and Brazil v Durant. The firm has also recently acted for the Kenyan Plaintiff CMC Holdings in a dishonest assistance claim against RBC Trust Company, and for the Plaintiffs in a breach of confidence and conspiracy claim against UC Rusal, both of which settled in 2021.
