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.

The Private Wealth team advises trustees, private banks, financial institutions, fiduciaries, family offices and high net worth clients and their advisers on the lifecycle of trusts, from their establishment and regulatory considerations to their administration and restructuring. Our experts 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.

The Dispute Resolution team has a pedigree in local and cross-border trust dispute resolution. We count among our clients a large number of the leading institutional and independent trustees and fiduciary businesses. Our specialists have a strong track record, having acted successfully in many of the headline international trust disputes and private client matters in recent years in the 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.

The strength of Ogier's multi-disciplinary team is in the quality and breadth of experience of our lawyers, who work together to deliver a discreet, seamless and professional service for our clients.
