The global offshore law-firm Carey Olsen has expanded its trust team in the BVI and the Cayman Islands by hiring Graham Stoute as a new associate at the firm's Cayman office.

Here, Graham will advise private and institutional clients on the establishment, re-organisation and administration of Cayman and BVI trusts and trust structures, including STAR and VISTA trusts, private trust companies, commercial trust arrangements and charitable trusts. He will also advise on wills and estate planning, probate and resealing applications, and the administration of complex estates.

Graham has been practising at Appleby in the Cayman Islands for the last four years, focusing on a range of contentious and non-contentious trust and estate matters.

Furthermore, he has a background in UK tax and trusts, having previously worked for Burges Salmon in Bristol.   

Graham was admitted as a solicitor of the Supreme Court of England and Wales in 2005 (now non-practising) and as an attorney-at-law in the Cayman Islands in 2010.

Carey Olsen is a global law-firm, which provides services from the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey and Jersey. The firm also has offices in Cape Town and London.
