Annemarie Hughes and Donna Matthews, members of Dougherty
Quinn's specialist trust team, attended the Transcontinental
Trusts Conference in Geneva. The conference was held on 19 & 20
June 2013 and included presentations covering the key updates in
the trust world, information exchange, jurisdictional overviews and
regulation for growth.
The conference was attended by the leading trust law experts from
around the world including Chief Justice Anthony Smellie of the
Cayman Islands. The event is regarded as the premier event for
trust practitioners internationally.
Donna Matthews commented:
"Each year, DQ's specialist trust team attends this
renowned conference where the industry's key players gather to
hear the latest developments in trust law from across the globe. It
was a stimulating and rewarding two days. Our specialist team has
experienced significant growth in the last two years and the Isle
of Man remains well placed as an attractive jurisdiction of choice
for HNWIs for trusts and foundations."
The Isle of Man Courts are becoming increasingly important and
active in the international trust arena as they continue to develop
international trust law. For example, please see our
recent note on the Isle of Man Court's clarification of the
right of a trust protector to an indemnity.
