Rachael will be speaking on the first day of the conference which is dedicated to trust litigation and will be joined by Professor Jonathan Harris QC to discuss the firewall legislation in the Cayman Islands and other Offshore jurisdictions. Rachael will examine ways of penetrating the firewall and cases which have considered its scope and effect. The session will be attended by trustees, leading trusts lawyers and Judges, including the Honourable Justice David Hayton (the Caribbean Court of Justice) and the Honourable Justice Nick Segal (Cayman Islands Grand Court).
