Samantha Smith

Overview

I am an Associate in the International Trusts and Private Client team in Guernsey, advising on all aspects of private wealth.

My non-contentious practice includes trusts, foundations, wealth structuring, asset planning, and succession matters. I work with high-net-worth individuals and families, trustees, beneficiaries, financial institutions, intermediaries, and family offices, advising on trust law, probate, wills, and inheritance matters.

Prior to joining Mourant in 2025, I worked in-house for a local trust service provider and as an associate at another global law firm in Guernsey.
