Trust Corporation International has appointed Advocate Andrew Walters as an executive director.
Advocate Walters was called to the Guernsey Bar in 2008 having previously qualified as an English solicitor and barrister. He has spent many years in private practice as a corporate lawyer, notably at Hogan Lovells LLP in London and as a partner of Ozannes and then Mourant Ozannes.
At Trust Corporation he will spearhead the further development of the firm’s corporate and institutional fiduciary offering and client base.
Advocate Walters complements the company’s existing senior management team, with the founding principals having all come from private practice backgrounds in the legal, accounting and tax fields. The firm prides itself on its director-led service and Mr Walters’ background and experience is expected to further enhance this offering.
Michael Betley, Chairman of Trust Corporation International, said: “Andrew’s appointment is an indication of our continuing growth and intent to hire senior professionals with exceptional levels of expertise.”
“His considerable experience advising clients on legal and regulatory issues and his detailed knowledge of complex corporate and fiduciary structures will further strengthen our existing management team.”
Advocate Walters’s work as a corporate lawyer has been recognised by multiple industry commentators including The Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners. He has been identified as a leading lawyer by the International Financial Law Review and has authored articles and chapters for a variety of legal publications including The International Journal of Business and Butterworth’s Offshore Legal Service.
He said: “It is very rewarding to become part of Trust Corporation which has a reputation for technical excellence and a senior management team unrivalled in Guernsey’s fiduciary sector. To join a company which is widely regarded as the industry leader is an exciting proposition for me.”
