Congratulations to our newly promoted colleagues

In what has been an exceptionally challenging year, opportunities for celebration should be embraced. We’re pleased to have made seven promotions across our legal departments.

Corporate finance expert, Angelina Drljaca-Chandler, and corporate banking specialist, Reshma Jogia, have both been promoted to partner.

Angelina joined Capital in 2017, from a major London based international firm. She advises companies, investors, and managers in corporate finance transactions, which are often cross border. Angelina is originally from Montenegro, and speaks fluent Serbian, Croatian and Macedonian. She heads up our Balkans desk as well as working with clients in the Channel Islands and the Middle East.

Reshma joined Capital in May 2020 from Blake Morgan, where she was head of the Cardiff banking and finance team. She is a corporate banking expert, with 20 years’ experience of acting for borrowers and lenders. You can read more about her appointment here.

Meanwhile, Céline Jones was promoted to senior associate in our commercial disputes team. Céline joined Capital in 2019 from Geldards, and specialises in contract disputes, unfair prejudice claims, and breach of covenants. A French national, she leads our French desk and has developed a particular expertise in international litigation.

Finally, Mark Dowds (Commercial Disputes), Cath Golledge (Corporate), Susanne Matthissen (Employment and Immigration), and Sam O’Callaghan (Construction, Energy, and Projects) were made associates.

Well done all!
