Counsel
Ogier
More informationWidely recognised as a ‘proactive and solution-focused team’ with expertise across both non-contentious and contentious work, Ogier‘s team routinely represents trustees, beneficiaries, settlors, protectors and enforcers in high-value international trust and estate disputes, including breach of trust, forced heirship and rectification claims. The practice is jointly led by ’Cayman’s star trust lawyer and litigator’ Rachael Reynolds KC, and the ‘talented’ Anthony Partridge, whose practice focuses on non-contentious and semi-contentious private trust and estate matters. Litigator Jennifer Fox excels in private client litigation, fraud and asset recovery work, and fund-related claims, while Christopher Levers handles claims involving fraud and breach of duty. Contentious trusts expert Deborah Barker Roye and Gregory Haddow, who advises on wealth structuring issues, are also noted.

‘The multi-discipline practice allows a client to get one-shop treatment in multiple jurisdictions if required. The teams work well together and the flow from partner to partner is seamless.’
‘Rachael Reynolds KC is Cayman's star trust lawyer and litigator, whose reputation extends far beyond the shores of the Islands. In a major trust matter there will be a rush to her door before one of the other parties instructs her. Anthony Partridge is a talented trust lawyer and delight to work with. He and Rachael make up an impressive duo. Jennifer Fox also impresses in the private client sphere, as does Deborah Barker Roye.’
