Crestbridge appoints new director to focus on Family Office Services from Cayman Islands
Dominic Lawton-Smith has joined
Crestbridge in Cayman to focus on ultra-high net worth families and
their advisers.
In his new role,
Dominic will be responsible for growing the Family Office Services
team in the Cayman Islands, working closely with the Group Heads of
Family Office Services, Heather Tibbo and Paul Hunter, as well as
Cayman based Directors Jonathan Bain and George Bashforth.
Dominic brings with
him nearly 30 years’ experience in the private client sector with
family office, institutional and sovereign wealth clients. He has
detailed knowledge of funds and trusts and their use in private
client, private equity and transactional structures. Crestbridge
works with clients and their legal counsel to create and manage
operational, holding, protection and investment structures to meet
client requirements.
Crestbridge Chief
Executive, Graeme McArthur, said: “I’m pleased to welcome Dominic
to our growing team in Cayman. His experience and knowledge will be a
great addition to the team and will help us to deliver a wider range
of services to clients. Cayman is an extremely important part of our
international network of offices and is key to our ability to deliver
a consistently excellent service.”
Dominic added: “I’m
delighted to be joining such a growing and dynamic team with a
fantastic reputation for client service. It’s an incredibly
exciting opportunity for me to build on that reputation and to extend
Crestbridge’s range of services to ultra-high net worth families
who require increasingly sophisticated cross-border solutions.”
Dominic is a member
of The Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), a committee
member of STEP in the Cayman Islands and holds a Master’s Degree in
International Business Law (LLM) from the University of London (Queen
Mary & UCL) specialising in Trusts Law, Comparative Trusts Law,
shareholder rights arising in company law and International
Investment Law.
The appointment follows Crestbridge’s move earlier this year to
expanded office premises in the Cayman Islands as the firm continues
to grow its presence in the jurisdiction.
Crestbridge is licensed by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) to offer a broad range of trust administration services in the Cayman Islands.
