Our Caribbean team is supported by BVI-law quali_fied solicitors in the Asian and European timezones, as well as the Ogier teams in other jurisdictions which include some of the most well-known names in o_ffshore law.
We advise trustees, private banks, _financial institutions, fi_duciaries, family o_ffices and high net worth clients and their advisers on the lifecycle of trusts from establishment, restructuring and administration to succession planning.
Our highly skilled specialist team uses their expertise to
provide the best
service to our clients, at a level that cannot always be provided
by generalists - expert advice when establishing private client
documentation can prevent difficulties and expense at a later
stage.
