Taylor Wessing

At Taylor Wessing, practice head Emma Jordan, who focuses on representing high-net-worth clients and trustees, is dual qualified as both an English barrister and a Jersey advocate. It is a ‘tenacious and hardworking team’, which is ’always available‘. It is ’able to explain things clearly and simply‘, say clients. Kirstie McGuigan is another key individual whose work spans contentious and advisory matters. Also recommended is Caroline Tayler, who has a strong reputation for her work on complex international estate disputes, as well as for her trusts advice in divorce proceedings. The group is skilled at advising on civil fraud, asset-tracing and recovery within offshore trusts and structures, while additionally being well equipped to deal with high-value issues of capacity, in particular where the protector loses capacity. Sacha Somerston is another experienced member of the department.
