Experience

Advising Grampian Trust Company Ltd

We have, once again, successfully defended Grampian Trust Company Ltd (Grampian) with the Privy Council having unanimously dismissed the appeal of Mrs Dawson-Damer in respect of what is undoubtedly one of the largest trust cases to have been pursued in the Bahamas and appealed up to the Privy Council.
