Overview

Overview

I’m a Partner in the International Trusts and Private Client team in Jersey.

I advise corporate, charitable and private clients from a range of jurisdictions on the creation, ongoing management and termination of BVI, Cayman and Jersey trusts and other wealth and succession planning vehicles.

I moved to Jersey in June 2016 having previously worked in the BVI and England, where I trained and qualified.
