Barrister returns from Cayman Islands

Twenty Essex has welcomed Sarah Tresman back to chambers, after three years in the Cayman Islands.

Sarah began her career with Twenty Essex as a pupil. She focuses her practice on insolvency, fraud and asset tracing, advising corporations, financial institutions, capital markets participants and investment fund managers. In June 2016, she began working with offshore law firm Walkers in the Cayman Islands as a litigation attorney, and now returns to London to pursue her career at the commercial Bar.

Duncan Matthews QC, co-head of Twenty Essex, said: ‘We are very glad to welcome Sarah back to Chambers on her return to the UK. She was an outstanding and highly-regarded junior before she left. Since then, her direct experience in an offshore jurisdiction together with her in-depth knowledge of Cayman Islands law will stand her in excellent stead, particularly in fraud and insolvency work, which will greatly complement the strength of other members of Twenty Essex practising in these areas.’

Sarah added: ‘I am delighted to be returning to Twenty Essex at what is a very exciting time for Chambers. My experience over the last three years at Walkers, a top tier law firm in the Cayman Islands, means I am now uniquely placed to assist clients in offshore matters. I am looking forward to developing this aspect of my practice at Twenty Essex, together with civil fraud and insolvency work.’
