Campbells’ Trusts & Private Client team provides comprehensive advice on the establishment, administration, restructuring, and termination of all types of BVI and Cayman Islands trusts. Our expertise encompasses asset protection, succession and estate planning, and commercial structuring.

A wide range of trust structures is available in both jurisdictions, including discretionary trusts, fixed interest trusts, charitable and non-charitable purpose trusts, unit trusts, and employee benefit trusts. The BVI offers VISTA trusts (specifically for holding shares in BVI companies), while the Cayman Islands offers STAR trusts (which may benefit individuals, purposes, or both). See our Overview of BVI and Cayman Islands Trusts for more information.

Our Trusts & Private Client team has particular expertise in advising clients on complex, contentious, or potentially contentious trust and estate matters. We have acted for trustees, beneficiaries and other parties involved in litigation in both the BVI and the Cayman Islands.  

Our team also assists with the administration of international estates and acts for individuals seeking probate or letters of administration in the BVI and Cayman Islands. Our services are delivered with a commercial, pragmatic approach and a commitment to client service.
