Taylor Rose—Krystal Ramsammy, Jacob Robinson & James Ng

Three appointments in private client and dispute resolution teams

Independent law firm Taylor Rose has announced three new appointments within its private client and dispute resolution teams.

In the private client team, Jacob Robinson has been promoted to technical head of private client and Krystal Ramsammy to commercial head of private client.

Krystal Ramsammy (pictured) has been part of the firm since 2019, and previously headed up the private client team in its Peterborough office as well as being partner for the Southwest covering multiple offices. She will be responsible for driving the commercial performance of the department, expanding the team and client base even further.

Jacob Robinson has been at Taylor Rose since 2014, where he started as a paralegal, qualifying in 2017. As technical head, he will be responsible for ensuring high professional standards of legal work within the team and prioritising the client experience.

The Dispute Resolution team has appointed James Ng as partner. James joins from Zhong Lun, one of the largest law firms in China, where he was head of dispute resolution in its London office. 

With extensive experience in handling complex civil litigation, particularly cross-border disputes, James brings a wide variety of expertise around strategic litigation advice, mediation and arbitration. In his new position, James aims to enhance the firm’s litigation practice by fostering a culture of excellence, promoting innovative solutions for its clients, and mentoring the next generation of legal talent within the firm.

Adrian Jaggard, CEO of Taylor Rose commented: 'It’s great to welcome James to the firm and see Krystal and Jacob’s hard work and dedication rewarded with their promotions. Both Private Client and Dispute Resolution are key growth areas for the business and I am confident they will both be significantly boosted by the contributions of these key team members. I look forward to working alongside them to continue building Taylor Rose’s growth in the UK.'
