The firm says that Laura Perkins is specialised in wealth planning for high and ultra-high net worth clients – in particular, the use of trusts for succession planning, wealth preservation and asset protection purposes.

Kellyann Ozouf, Head of Collas Crill’s IPCT team in Jersey, commented: “I’m thrilled to be welcoming Laura to the team. Her breadth of knowledge and experience will enable us to further progress what is already a thriving area of business for us at Collas Crill, and build upon our BVI and private client and trusts offering.”

Mrs Pekins added: “I’ve received a really warm welcome to Collas Crill and am really looking forward to establishing myself within Jersey, working alongside Kellyann and the team.”
