Representative Work
We represented the professional trustee in the Crociani litigation, one of the biggest breach of trust cases in recent Jersey legal history.
We acted for the beneficiaries in long-running charitable trust litigation, which resulted in an award of over USD$300m and the removal of the trustee.
We acted for the beneficiaries of a trust to remove and recover trust assets from uncooperative Panamanian trustees.
We acted for Primafides (Suisse) SA in relation to an application for its removal as trustee of a trust.
