Saffery Trust Guernsey’s Donna Brehaut has become the firm’s first Associate Director to be recognised in the Private Client Global Elite Directory.
Alongside Donna (pictured), the 2025 Directory also includes Saffery Trust Cayman Director, Lee Hart, marking another milestone for the firm as the first Cayman-based team member listed. Donna and Lee join Guernsey and Cayman Director Lisa Vizia and Trust Director Dominic Lawton-Smith who have both retained their listing.
Professionals listed in the Directory are nominated by intermediaries within the private client industry for demonstrating excellent technical expertise, and for the strength of their client relationships. The directory is used as a guide for legal professionals looking for referrals, family offices and professional advisors.
Saffery Trust Group Managing Director Nick Batiste said Donna’s inclusion in the list was “well deserved”.
“The Global Elite Directory is recognised as a top tier listing of private client service providers. As an Associate Director, Donna represents the firm’s next generation; her inclusion in this list is a testament to her high standing within the wealth industry and marks a bright future both for Donna and for Saffery Trust,” said Nick.
Saffery Trust team members have achieved notable recognition in industry listings, including the eprivateclient 50 Most Influential and NextGen Leaders lists, Spear’s Tax & Trust Index, and the Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide.
Nick added: “I am incredibly proud of the recognition that our team members in each of our offices continue to receive year on year. Our people are our most valuable assets and their inclusion in industry listings demonstrates this beyond doubt. It is especially significant that these listings are peer-nominated, highlighting the trust and confidence our intermediaries place in us.”
