What has been the highlight of your practice over the past 12 months?
Working with a large family to protect a valuable trading asset/family business from internal divisions within the family. This involved persuading the patriarch to follow a course of action that balanced the interests of all family members (current and future) and avoided going to court.
What sets you apart from your peers?
Experience across a very wide range of services and jurisdictions. 15 years as Group CEO of Ocorian also brings commercial experience that is often useful to a client outside of the traditional trustee services.
What advice would you give rising stars/new lawyers in the private client world?
Work hard and always consider how your client will interpret/react to your advice or guidance. Try to think as if in their shoes.
