Profile

Keith is a partner in the Trusts & Private Wealth group. 



Keith regularly advises a mix of global and institutional trustees, family offices and high net worth private clients on commercial and private trusts, foundations, charitable and not-for-profit organisations, succession, pension and estate planning issues as well as on associated regulatory and compliance matters.



Keith has practised Jersey law since 1994. Initially he had a broad common law practice and following his call to the Bar in Jersey he represented several major institutions in a variety of contentious and non-contentious matters before the Royal Court of Jersey.



Between 2004 and 2007 he acted as a director of a Jersey based trust company business and had primary responsibility for the administration of a sizable family office structure during that period.



He has written for several journals and frequently speaks at seminars and conferences on trust law and private client matters. Keith is ranked by both Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners High Net Worth, and also features in the 2024 Private Clients Global Elite Directory.
