At Taylor Wessing LLP, ‘the team has wide knowledge of commercial matters and has the ability to distil information to non-lawyers in a very professional way’. Emma Jordan heads the practice, and is dual-qualified as both an English barrister and a Jersey advocate. The team includes Kirstie McGuigan, whose practice spans contentious and advisory work, and Caroline Tayler, who has a strong reputation for trusts advice in divorce proceedings. The stellar team advises on civil fraud work, asset-tracing, and recovery in the context of offshore trusts and structures. Another area of strength is advising on insolvent trusts. The group has been busy handling high-value issues of capacity, particularly where the protector loses capacity. Its client base includes ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families who have interests in two or more jurisdictions, and it represents more than 100 families with global wealth in excess of $1bn, eight royal families, and around 300 individuals and families worth over $100m.
