Introducing two new partners to Ogier's Private Client and Trusts team
We are pleased to introduce you to two of our new trusts partners: James Campbell in Jersey and Gavin Ferguson in Guernsey. Both come to us with years of experience in their fields and are among the top Private Client and Trusts lawyers in the Channel Islands.
James advises professional trustees, family offices, intermediaries and high-net worth families on all aspects of Jersey trusts, foundations and estate planning. Gavin is qualified in Guernsey and BVI law and provides both contentious and non-contentious trust and foundation advice. He also advises on regulatory matters and has a personal fiduciary license. Both James and Gavin have a particular focus on private trust companies and have experience in Sharia compliant structures.
Gavin has been recognised as "one of the island's top trust lawyers" by Chambers UK 2017 and James has been described by Legal 500 UK 2016 as a "top-notch lawyer".
We're very pleased to have attracted two big names to our team along with a group of senior hires who have joined the Guernsey team with Gavin. You'll be hearing more from both of them in the coming weeks and months. Read more

Beddoe relief where a third party claim may exhaust trust assets
The Honourable Chief Justice Anthony Smellie QC has delivered an important judgment, clarifying the ability of a Cayman Islands trustee to obtain Beddoe relief when faced with a third party claim that exceeds the value of the assets currently held in trust.
In reaching this decision, the Chief Justice also addressed the scope of a third party litigant's ability to participate in a Beddoe application and who should bear the burden of costs. Read more

Jersey's strategic focus on high quality regulation continues to yield dividends
Market commentary from our Global Senior Partner Steve Meiklejohn
