Private Client and Trusts

Nelsons has a highly experienced trust team which advises exclusively on Cayman Islands trusts. The team is led by Steven Barrie, who has over 24 years of experience in advising high net worth individuals on the establishment, administration and termination of Cayman trusts.

We act for several leading international trust companies advising them and their clients on trust solutions tailored to their client’s individual needs.

We have developed an expertise over the years assisting in the creation of fixed and discretionary trusts, STAR trusts, reserved powers trusts, asset protection trusts, private trust companies, drafting wills and advising on estate and succession issues. We can provide high quality advice, promptly adding value to the often difficult and complex task of creating customised trust structures and estate planning solutions.

Our trust practice with the support of our highly regarded litigation team have been involved in many of the leading trust dispute cases in the Cayman Islands over the last two decades. We have acted in several high-profile trust cases involving international trust structures, dealing with disputes between trustees, protectors and beneficiaries. We provide the realistic and expert advice required on all aspects of trusts.
