Located in the north eastern Caribbean, the British Virgin Islands are a British Overseas Territory enjoying internal self government in a stable political environment.

BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS Located in the north eastern Caribbean, the British Virgin Islands are a British Overseas Territory enjoying internal self government in a stable political environment. The legal system is based on English common law and the US dollar is legal tender within the islands. There are no exchange control regulations and entities established by and for international clients can operate from a tax neutral base in the BVI. This international business represents over 50% of the economic activity of the islands (tourism being the other major industry) and has led to the development of a comprehensive infrastructure of legal, accounting, banking and other skills. The BVI is the recognised leader in offshore corporate activity with the largest companies registry in the offshore world. The BVI Business Companies Act forms the basis and impetus for this growth and the jurisdiction has been rightly praised for offering quick, flexible and cost effective solutions for many offshore structuring plans. Trust, Partnership, Mutual Fund and Insolvency legislation also has all been passed within recent years allowing the BVI to take its place as a premier international business jurisdiction serving a truly global client base. Legislation catering to private trust companies allows the BVI to be leader in this area and this, together with the unique Vista trust concept (creating the possibility of greater settlor control of trust assets), ensures that the BVI remains a preferred trust jurisdiction.

Trusts and foundations, which are frequently used in conjunction with companies, can play a key role in the wealth management needs of individuals, families and corporates. TRUSTS & FOUNDATIONS Trusts and foundations, which are frequently used in conjunction with companies, can play a key role in the wealth management needs of individuals, families and corporates. Carefully planned and structured, they can enable clients to preserve, protect and accumulate wealth, whilst minimising or deferring exposure to tax. Various types of trusts and foundations have been developed and the most suitable structure will depend upon each client’s unique circumstances. With offices in many of the jurisdictions featuring trust and foundation laws, we are well placed to meet most client requirements. We assist our clients (in conjunction with their own professional advisers) on the formation, administration and management of trusts, foundations, partnerships and companies. Our private clients range from the small family trust to large complex international family offices, while our corporate clients range from small family businesses to top 100 international public companies. The provision of trust and foundation services is one of our core lines of business and has been for so many years. We take the time at the outset to understand our clients’ requirements and expectations to ensure that we develop the right relationship and the optimal solution. As we are completely independent, we are not tied to any other service provider which allows us to offer our clients unfettered choice in selecting and working with third party service providers and professional advisers. We aim to offer the highest level of personal service as our culture is all about building long term relationships. Many of our clients have been with us not just for years, but for generations.
