Carey Olsen—Alexa Saunders

Private wealth partner appointed deputy managing partner of Carey Olsen Jersey

Carey Olsen has appointed Alexa Saunders as deputy managing partner of its Jersey office, effective 1 July 2025. Saunders, a partner in the trusts and private wealth group since 2016 and its Jersey head since 2023, brings nearly 20 years of experience advising on complex trust and estate matters. ‘I'm very proud to take on the role and to support the continued development of our Jersey office,’ she said.

Highly ranked by Legal 500 UK and Chambers directories, Saunders was elected earlier this year to The International Academy of Estate and Trust Law, a prestigious global network of leading private client practitioners. Her expertise spans private family trusts, employee benefit schemes and pension structures.

Simon Marks, managing partner of Carey Olsen Jersey, welcomed the appointment, saying, ‘Alexa has shown herself to be an excellent leader of our trusts and private wealth group… we have some exciting plans for the future.’
