About

Provided by Ogier

Ogier's Trusts Advisory Group, a team specialising in private client, dispute resolution and corporate law, draws together experts with substantial experience in Ogier's key private client locations.


Our Private Wealth team advises trustees, private banks, financial institutions, fiduciaries, family offices and high-net-worth clients and their advisors on the lifecycle of trusts, from their establishment and regulatory considerations to their administration and restructuring. We have in-depth knowledge of trusts and foundations, enabling us to provide flexible and practical guidance on choosing the best structure and jurisdiction for any given client.


Our Dispute Resolution specialists have a strong track record in dealing with contentious issues. Ogier has acted successfully in many of the headline international trust and private client matters in recent years in BVI, Cayman, Guernsey and Jersey.


A differentiating factor of our Trusts Advisory Group is our embedded corporate support to corporate entities underlying trusts and foundations. All three teams work together to provide a seamless service for our clients.
