Held at Beau Sejour last week, the 2023 STEP Guernsey Annual Conference also saw discussions on family structures and the issues faced by multi-jurisdictional families.

Gilly Kennedy-Smith, is Mourant’s Head of Trusts and Private Client in Guernsey (pictured top). Mourant sponsored the ‘Carbon Offset’ package for a second year.

“The 2023 STEP conference was a huge success, with the exceptional lineup of speakers delivering a range of thought-provoking discussions. As part of the STEP conference committee, I relished the opportunity to help curate new and interesting innovative content for over 180 attendees, which this year centred around the themes of challenging family dynamics that arise due to succession and change of control events.

“We were also thrilled as a firm to continue to be the Carbon Offset sponsor for STEP Guernsey’s flagship annual conference. This sponsorship aligns with our firm-wide commitment to environmental sustainability, in particular our ongoing support of numerous ocean conservation initiatives and commitment to upholding the Mourant Ocean Pledge.

“We’re delighted that through our support, STEP Guernsey has donated to LIFE Recreation ReMEDIES, a £2.5 million, marine conservation partnership project based at five areas along the south coast of England.”
