Experience
PartnerCurrent
Ogier · Jersey, United Kingdom
Feb 1988 – Present
I advise trustees and private clients in respect of trust and fiduciary structures. In addition to acting for a range of significant private clients on their estate planning, I also advise trustees on complex trust questions. I am increasingly involved in establishing new and innovative charitable and philanthropic structures. I am very proud to be part of a team that has won the STEP International Legal Team of the Year Award five times (far more than any other firm), and I am also very pleased to have been named Citywealth's International Lawyer of the Year, one of the top five offshore practitioners in Who’s Who Legal: Private Client, and to have been included in eprivateclient's "Most Influential" list for the last three years. I joined Ogier in 1983 and qualified as a Jersey Advocate in 1985. I had a mixed practice (covering estates, wills, local commercial and a range of litigation matters) until I joined our newly formed Trusts and Estate Planning Team in 1996. I have remained a member of that team ever since. I am qualified in the laws of Jersey, BVI and England & Wales, and I am a Notary Public.
