FREE LUNCH
AGENDA
FREE LUNCH We all know there’s no such thing as a free lunch, particularly in the business world. So last month we booked a table at The Crown Club, at the Old Government House Hotel, invited along a guest and had lunch. Claud Falla met with Tamara Timothy to discuss her recent transition from on screen journalist to the property department of Collas Crill.

PEOPLE PROFILE
PEOPLE PROFILE
AGENDA
People profile: JESSICA ROLAND As part of our focus on the islands legal profession in this edition of Agenda we wanted to profile an individual to find out not only about their career path but also their life outside of the office. Jessica Roland is the Managing Partner of the Guernsey office of Mourant Ozannes, we were lucky enough to speak to her about the journey to her current position, an impressive new hobby and a love for chicken soup. Jessica would you tell us a little more about your day job?
How did you get to the role you’re in now?
Do you have any advice for anyone aspiring to have a career in law? Is there one phrase you live your life by, if so what is it and why?
What keeps you busy outside of work?
Where were you based before you came back to Guernsey? What aspect of your career to date are you most proud of?
Would you recommend spending time away from the island before returning, did this provide you with a greater depth of experience?
Can you tell us about any cases you’ve worked on that stand out and if so why?
Tell us something about yourself that your colleagues might not know?
What’s the best thing about your job? Your favourite spot on Guernsey? We know that everyone has parts of their job they don’t enjoy, what’s the worst part of your job?

FOCUS ON LAW
AGENDA
So you’re not Rihanna DO YOU NEED AN IMAGE RIGHT? Most of us know what a copyright is; it protects musical works, films and the written word and a trademark; that protects names, products and brands. But until recently nothing has been able to protect images associated with people and in particular celebrities. Images aren’t just pictures they’re gestures, mannerisms and signatures. Think Usain’s Bolt, or the Mo Bot, both as recognisable as the people themselves and equally as marketable. David Evans, Director, Collas Crill IP answers the question ‘So you’re not Rihanna - do you need an image right?’

AGENDA
THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING LIKE THE TRUTH Most of us like to think of ourselves as fundamentally honest and decent people. However, an awful lot of people are lying, cheating criminal scumbags who deserve to be forcibly sterilised so that their atrocious genes no longer form an oily slick upon our already shallow gene pool. The problem is that in their own heads, these people genuinely think that they, too, are fundamentally honest and decent – they just ascribe different meanings to those terms in order to maintain the self-deception.
