Saffery Trust has announced that five of its private client specialists have been included in the 2026 Private Client Global Elite listings.
The firm states that these recognitions are based on peer nominations within the professional community.
Dominic Lawton-Smith is a returning specialist who has appeared in previous editions of the list, as is Lisa Vizia, who was noted for her work with international families and trustees.
Donna Brehaut has also made a return to the list, and was recognised for her technical approach and professional relationships.
Lee Hart is a specialist who has featured in multiple previous listings, and once again has made the cut.
Whilst it’s a first time inclusion for Judith Chatoo, the Head of Private Clients in the Geneva office. Saffery Trust states her inclusion follows her work navigating jurisdictional complexities for families.
The trust describes the Private Client Global Elite directory as a resource for those seeking advisors, noting that the selection process relies on recommendations from industry peers.
The firm claims that having five individuals recognised reflects their focus on quality advice and collaborative service.
Nick Batiste, Managing Director at Saffery Trust, said, “We’re thrilled to see five of our team featured in this year’s listings. It reflects the high standards we set, the personal commitment we bring to each relationship, and the confidence others in the industry place in us.
“We’re especially pleased to see Judith recognised for the first time, which is richly deserved.”
