A Guernsey lawyer has backed the island's longstanding
commitment to China and Hong Kong and said the island is well
positioned to be attractive to high net worth individuals in the
region.
Marcus Leese, Partner at
Ogier, spent four years in the firm's Hong Kong team and
knows the region well. He is speaking at a
STEP seminar in Hong Kong on Thursday 28 March on the benefits
of Guernsey trusts and foundations for Asian clients.
Advocate Leese said that in recent years, Ogier had advised more
and more Asian clients on establishing and benefiting from Guernsey
trusts and foundations to hold and protect wealth.
And he said, in a recent interview with BL Global magazine, that
after more than a decade in China, Guernsey Finance and Guernsey
firms were strongly positioned for future growth.
