Jersey Advocate to address national presentation
Advocate Richard Pirie will be addressing a national seminar billed as a ‘must’ for all who provide international financial services to private clients.
Jersey Finance is hosting the presentation entitled Private Wealth update – Jersey Tax and Legal Solutions on Tuesday 23 March at the Hyatt Regency Birmingham and on Wednesday 24 March at The Marriott Hotel, Bristol. Advocate Pirie is one of three experts who have been invited to speak at the event.
Advocate Pirie said that the presentations are an excellent forum for Jersey professionals to demonstrate to local professionals looking after high net worth clients, that Jersey has world-class products and services to meet their needs, what ever they might be. ‘Jersey Finance have provided us with an opportunity to get a positive message across and it is the responsibility of Jersey firms and organisations to make sure we make the most of that initial contact. The door is now open to new global markets and we have a broad range of sophisticated services that we can offer clients’.
Advocate Pirie’s 15 minute speech will discuss the uses of the Jersey foundation, a wealth management vehicle for which there is likely to be more and more take-up during 2010 and beyond. He will consider this alongside the more traditional trust and corporate structures.
The presentations will be hosted by the London representative of Jersey Finance, Clive Boothman and will be attended by Birmingham and Bristol-based lawyers, accountants, and other financial services professionals. The other speakers at the events are Mr Boothman himself, and Robert Jukes, Global Strategist, Collins Stewart.
In addition to the legal topic, the seminar will consider recent developments in Jersey and other international finance centres, and the economic outlook and its implications for fiscal policy through the next budget and after the election. Speakers will also touch on the taxation of UK resident and non-domiciled individuals and those seeking to become non resident, and provide analysis of the UK government’s sterner stance on those seeking to leave the UK or with assets based outside the UK.
