Firm Overview
Preston Legal is a St Helier-based law firm established in 2016 by Advocate Mike Preston. Having spent a significant portion of his career within a large firm environment, he set up the practice to offer clients a more direct, one-to-one service. The firm cuts out the bureaucracy and high overheads typically found at larger corporate institutions in Jersey, focusing instead on straight-talking advice and agile, responsive client care designed to build long-term trust.
The firm stands out for its courtroom presence and is regularly instructed by private individuals, local business owners, and corporate entities. Preston Legal deals with everything from high-profile criminal trials to serious commercial disputes and trust litigation. Their advocates guide clients through the Jersey courts with clear, practical guidance, whether securing an early commercial settlement or fighting a full-blown trial.
