Trust Litigation In Bermuda's Financial Landscape

If you've seen the hit HBO series Succession then you may have already formed a sense of the machinations and intrigue that can occur when ultra-high-net-worth families fall out with each other – at least in the world of TV fiction. If you haven't seen Succession, here's a quick primer without spoilers.

The aging patriarch of the Roy family, Logan Roy, is the owner of a New York-based global media empire. Having steered the business for many years, Mr. Roy experiences a decline in his health. The question then becomes who out of his four children might succeed him at the helm? There follows the twists and turns of a velvet battle, as his children vie for prominence within the family business. Think Game of Thrones in the boardroom – although without all of the deaths.
