Guernsey
The Bailiwick Guernsey, which includes the islands of Sark, Herm and Alderney, is situated in the English Channel north west of France. Guernsey is one of the world’s premier offshore financial centres. Its constitutional status as a self-governing Crown dependency gives it full fiscal and regulatory independence. Guernsey has proven itself a stable jurisdiction on which business can rely and yet flexible and responsive enough to be able to evolve to meet the changing requirements of the offshore world. In addition, Guernsey offers the advantage of being in the same time zone as the UK and has frequent air links to the United Kingdom, Jersey, Zurich and Geneva. Guernsey has attracted a range of financial services businesses focussing on banking, investment funds, fiduciary services, insurance and asset management.
In April 2009, the OECD placed Guernsey on its “White List” of approved jurisdictions, stating that it adhered to the internationally agreed principles of transparency and co-operation for the exchange of tax related information. Guernsey has signed numerous tax information exchange agreements (TIEAs) and will continue to do so with a view to reinforcing its commitment to international recognition.
David Clark, Group Partner, is the Office Managing Director of the Guernsey office, which comprises two further Group Partners, Barney Lee and Helen Crossley, in the Corporate team and two Partners, Jeremy Le Tissier and Gavin Ferguson, in the Litigation/Insolvency and Private Client/Trust teams.
Christopher Ward is the Managing Director of Appleby Trust (Guernsey) Limited, offering a range of fiduciary services.
