Short Biography

I am a senior associate in Walkers' Jersey Private Capital & Trusts Practice Group. I practiced for over ten years in onshore private practice in London before moving to Jersey. My main focus is on advising professional trustees, settlors, beneficiaries and family offices regarding complex private wealth structures, which often include private trusts, family offices, charitable structures and foundations. My practice is mainly focused on wealth protection, multi-generation succession planning and advising on general trust administration. I also regularly advise on corporate and banking structures that include purpose trusts and private trust companies or employee benefit and pension trusts. I am fully STEP qualified and working towards being an Association of Tax Technicians (ATT) member.
