As the requirements (and subsequent disputes) of HNW individuals
and families continue to increase in complexity, courts across our
jurisdictions are frequently seeing cases that are establishing new
precedents.
The scope and application of established principles and
approaches are also being put to the test, including, among others,
the substratum principle, the right of a trustee to
indemnification, and res judicata and issue estoppel in the context
of complex cross-border succession proceedings – all of which
our team write on below.
In other team news, we were extremely pleased to take home
offshore firm of the year at this month's eprivateclient
excellence awards, after a year of significant milestones for
Ogier. Thank you to all our clients and intermediaries.
