Short Biography

I practise in all areas of contentious and non-contentious private client and succession matters. I assist individuals (including settlors, protectors, trustees and beneficiaries) as well as family offices and corporate trustees with all aspects of Guernsey trust law, pension law and foundation law. I advise high-net-worth families, in particular families and individuals with backgrounds in business, technology and digital assets, about their wealth and succession structuring, including family office structuring. I work with these families to establish and manage their international asset holding structures and develop pragmatic succession plans for the passing of these structures to the wider family over generations. I also advise Guernsey and foreign trust companies about all aspects of Guernsey trust administration, including trustee disclosure obligations and fiduciary duties, changes and removal of trustees, breach of trust issues, processes for making momentous decisions and conflict of interest issues.
