Guillaume Staal

Guillaume Staal has worked tirelessly and professionally over the past three years to guide us through the complexities of this on-going case. Strengths have included Guillaume’s ability to assimilate the detail of the case, to explain and illuminate applicable law and practice (particularly where evolving contentious trust law has come into play), to develop pragmatic strategies which are responsive to the demands of both the case and the participants, to provide incisive advice and alternative perspectives on case-related issues as they arise, to prepare the ground for ADR and to handle the demands of the interlocutory phase with evident skill and expertise. Dickinson Gleeson were recommended to us for their contentious trust capabilities in Jersey and Guillaume has exceeded our high expectations with the depth of his knowledge and understanding.

We have found Guillaume to be extremely proactive in his dealings with our firm. Explains matters in a manner that is easy to understand as at times legal language can at the best of times be difficult to understand and comprehend. Guillaume has also been upfront and transparent on the fee charging arrangements.

Mr Staal's attention to detail and wealth of knowledge is in my opinion second to none. As a client of Mr Staal it has been noted that despite his work load, he has the ability to make you feel like you are his only client. He has impeccable communication skills, making sure that we are kept up to date at every stage of work he is engaged in. Overall our dealings with Mr Staal have been professional managed but retain that personal touch when it is required.

Guillaume assisted us with a long running and difficult matter. He remained patient and professional throughout the life of the matter and, steadily, guided us toward a commercially sensible outcome. We would be happy to work with Guillaume again and are grateful to him for his efforts to resolve this highly frustating claim.
