Mourant Ozannes' International Trusts & Private Client
practice group (ITPC) is led from the firm's London office by
former barrister and international trusts litigation specialist
Douglas Close . The
global ITPC team comprises some of the most
renowned trust litigators and advisers in the offshore world, and
advises on the laws of the Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey,
from offices in each of those jurisdictions as well as in London
and Hong Kong. Our aim is to provide exceptional client service
through an integrated trusts/private client team covering both
contentious and non-contentious matters in all our
jurisdictions.
Uniquely among the larger offshore firms:
we adopt an integrated "one firm" approach, enabling us
to advise dispassionately on the appropriate jurisdiction in which
to establish and administer wealth management structures, and to
work together across our jurisdictions, in our clients'
interests we have no captive private client trust company, enabling
us to make independent recommendations of trustees in each of our
jurisdictions
Mourant Ozannes has more top tier legal directory rankings
than any other offshore firm, and is recommended by Chambers &
Partners and Legal 500 for both its dispute resolution and its
trusts/private client expertise in Cayman, Guernsey and Jersey.
Members of the global ITPC team have been involved in some of the
most complex and high-value trust litigation in the world, but we
aim to bring to bear our experience and expertise to provide the
right individual or team for each client's needs at every stage of
our instructions, whatever the size or nature of the case. We act
for local and international financial institutions, trustees,
beneficiaries, settlors, protectors, wealth managers, family
offices, HNWIs - indeed, everyone with a need for legal advice or
representation in connection with trust/private client issues,
contentious or otherwise. We have considerable experience of
working in close collaboration with onshore law and accountancy
firms, and expertise in relation to philanthropic trusts,
non-charitable purpose trusts, Shar'ia compliant trusts, Jersey
foundations and complex private trust company structures, as well
as pensions and probate.
