Ogier has boosted its private client capability in the Caribbean with the appointment of Fraser Allister to the team that was recently crowned Caribbean Law Firm of the Year by Citywealth.
Fraser works alongside partner David Cooney on all areas of private client and trust work with a particular focus on the establishment and operation of trust structures and the relocation of individuals and business to the Cayman Islands.
Fraser has significant expertise in the intergenerational transfer of wealth, with particular emphasis on succession planning for family owned businesses.
His strong background in both trust and tax matters means he is well placed to understand the technical issues involved in those transfers and his considerable experience of working with business owners allows him to understand and manage the wider issues and concerns that usually accompany these ‘once-in-a-generation’ transfers.
