Campbells’ Associate admitted to Bar

(CNS Business): Campbells attorneys says that associate Jeremy Durston was admitted as an Attorney-at-Law in the Cayman Islands on 5 August. Durston has had long ties to Cayman as his parents have been residents for upwards of 20 years and it was always his intention to make Cayman his home and to become a law practitioner of the islands, the firm said in a release. After marrying his wife Laura (nee Munyard), whom he met while attending the Truman Bodden Law School, his intention to permanently live in Cayman was solidified.

Durston completed the first two thirds of his LLB law degree at Truman Bodden Law School and later transferred to the University of Liverpool, where at his 2008 graduation, he received not just first class honours but the award for the best performance in the final LLB exams. He then undertook pupillage and practiced for over five years at Exchange Chambers in Liverpool in both civil and criminal law before returning to Cayman in 2013.

Durston joined Campbells in January 2014 as a paralegal and, since his admission, became an Associate in the firm’s Litigation and Dispute Resolution Department.

“Although I enjoyed my time practising at the Bar in England, I am so pleased to be back in the Cayman Islands and I’m excited to commence working as an Attorney in Campbells’ litigation department. I would like to thank the Partners for affording me this opportunity and I look forward to a long and fruitful career here,” Durston said.

“We are pleased that Jeremy has been called to the Cayman Bar and are proud of his accomplishments,” says Ross McDonough, Managing Partner and Head of Litigation at Campbells. “Jeremy is a hardworking, experienced individual and is an asset to the firm. We look forward to seeing him continue to develop his legal career in the coming years.”
