Offshore firm Bedell Cristin has announced the appointment of Tim Pearce as its global managing partner. He takes over the role from David Cadin, who will retain the role of Jersey managing partner.

Tim has been part of the firm since 2003, and has advised multinational companies and international banks as well as investment funds and high-net worth individuals on a wide range of corporate and finance matters.

He said: ‘I’m looking forward to taking on this role and continuing the great work David has delivered over the past three years.’

‘The firm has gone from strength-to-strength under his leadership, and a strong client service and continuous improvement culture has been embedded at Bedell Cristin's core. I aim to continue the progress David has made in establishing ourselves as a truly independent offshore law firm that clients repeatedly choose to work with.’

David added: ‘I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the last three years, and it’s gratifying to see the many improvements we’ve made as a firm.’
