Ogier’s global head of Private Wealth, Matt Guthrie, has been named Channel Islands Lawyer of the Year by Citywealth.
Matt (pictured) specialises in advising high-net-worth families, trust companies and family offices in relation to succession planning and structuring through trusts, foundations and other vehicles. His practice includes designing and implementing bespoke cross border structures and advising trustees in relation to complex matters and disputes.
He also advises clients in relation to their international reporting requirements, economic substance and automatic exchange of information between jurisdictions. Guernsey-based, his practice is truly international, working with families and fiduciary businesses in Europe, the Middle East, the US and the UK.
In addition, the firm was also named ‘Law Firm of the Year – Jersey’ at the Citywealth IFC Awards ceremony, held in London.
Commenting on his win, Matt said: “I feel honoured to have been recognised as the leading Private Wealth lawyer in the Channel Islands. I’m backed by an incredibly strong global team at Ogier, whose talent, dedication, and client-centricity enable us to deliver exceptional client service and are also reflected in this award. It is as much our Private Wealth team’s award as it is mine and I am very privileged to work with all of them.”
