Collas Crill's International Private Client & Trusts department has recruited Partner David Cooney to its Guernsey team.
David joins the firm from Charles Russell Speechlys, where he has served as a Zurich-based Partner for the past three years, specialising in international private client work. Prior to this, he led Ogier's Caribbean Private Wealth team in the Cayman Islands.
Having qualified as an English solicitor in 2003, David went on to become a member of the Society of Trust & Estate Practitioners in 2006, and a UK chartered tax adviser in 2008. He is currently a member of the STEP Zurich Council, and previously served on the Cayman and England equivalents.
David works primarily with trustees and individuals to establish trusts and other wealth planning structures. He advises on all set-up and maintenance of such structures, and in establishing complicated structures with connections to multiple jurisdictions.
David's relocation to Guernsey has been put on hold due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
