Seminar Content
The popularity of Channel Islands private trustee structures (whether Private Trust Companies ("PTCs") or Private Trustee Foundations("PTFs")) continued during 2020 – perhaps accelerated by the pandemic.
Angela Calnan, Group Partner in Collas Crill's International Private Client & Trust ("IPCT") Team will walk us through a recent practical example of a Guernsey PTC that she has established for a Saudi family with a Guernsey trustee and a recent practical example of a Guernsey PTF for a domestic Guernsey family, again, administered by a Guernsey trustee.
Angela will touch on:
Angela Calnan
Group Partner at Collas Crill LLP
Angela heads our multi-award winning fiduciary practice in Guernsey (STEP Legal Team of the Year (midsize) 2015/16) and leads our Middle East Practice Group.
She is regarded as the 'go to' lawyer in Guernsey for Middle East private client work and for foundations.
She establishes, reorganises and terminates offshore dynastic structures (i.e. structures involving a combination of trusts, foundations and companies).
"People say; find a job that you love and you'll never work a day in your life. That's true for me - I really love what I do and the people around me share in that passion."
Having lived and worked in the UAE for a number of years, those structures are often (but not exclusively) for Middle Eastern families and commonly involve a family business and UK/UAE residential real estate. Angela's work involves ensuring that the family business stays intact and that wealth transmits effectively to the first and second generations. This can often be complicated by family members being spread across the globe necessitating Angela's collaboration with specialist tax lawyers and accountants to ensure that the structuring is tax efficient and tax compliant.
Angela also advises Guernsey trustees on their duties and on matters of risk when taking on, administering and exiting trust and foundation structures. As an experienced former private client litigator with Penningtons Manches LLP, Angela has a particular interest in avoiding and resolving trust disputes in conjunction with her dispute resolution team in Guernsey.
