Roman Abramovich assembles legal team in Jersey row as former Chelsea owner ‘disregards’ demands from Sir Keir Starmer

Goal, 26/12/25

Abramovich’s legal bench is extensive. Alongside Herschmann and Lord Wolfson are Howard Sharp, a former Jersey solicitor general, Maya Lester, a senior barrister specialising in sanctions and human rights law, Richard Lissack, known for complex financial litigation, and Andrew Stafford, an expert in international finance cases. Foreign Office minister Stephen Doughty has insisted that the UK Government remains confident in its legal position, including with regard to the Jersey action. Insiders familiar with the case suggest Abramovich’s decision to assemble such a heavyweight team reflects the scale of Jersey’s own legal resources.
