FAQs

What is a Jersey advocate and how does it compare to an English barrister?

To represent clients in the Jersey courts, you need to be a qualified Jersey advocate. Once qualified in Jersey, you will acquire "rights of audience". Unlike many English barristers, Jersey advocates often also undertake much of the background work in a case similar to an English solicitor. Please get in touch for more information.

Do all Jersey advocates regularly appear in Court?

No. There are many Jersey advocates who never appear in Court on behalf of clients. It is therefore very important that before selecting an advocate to represent you in a matter which could end up in Court, you find an advocate who has the necessary expertise. Both Mark and Ian regularly appear in Court and would be delighted to have a no-obligation discussion in relation to any prospective matter.
