Jersey, as a leading international finance centre, has had a long history of wealth management and provision of fiduciary services for families around the world. There is an increasing demand for family office services by families, which has in turn seen an increase in the number of providers and advisors operating in this space. The services being offered are becoming more innovative and diverse in order to meet the needs of the families. This conference is targeted at family offices, families, providers of family office services and advisors who advise family offices. The conference will look at the different types of family office that are available and how advisors can work with them in generating value for clients; an investment advisor's role in a family office and the role of external consultants; the legal and regulatory issues that family offices should be aware of; and the offshore structuring options that are available in Jersey and other offshore jurisdictions that family offices should be aware of.

James Johnstone, James Johnstone Ltd, UK

In 1999, James Johnstone - a non-practising barrister - set up his own business as a Fixer. Since then, he has worked around the world for UHNW individuals and corporate clients, resolving complex requests for them at the highest level across an unusually broad spectrum of services. He says he is not a specialist, but ‘merely a master at being a Jack-of-all-trades’. A fictional TV series based on his work as a Fixer has just been commissioned by the UK’s leading television production company.
