Zillah Howard has over 25 years’ experience in international private client work and is an active member of the Jersey working party shaping legislation for the private client industry. She has been awarded ‘Best in Offshore’ at the Europe Women in Business Law Awards for five consecutive years. She is recognised as giving "top-notch advice and first-class intellectual ability. She's very knowledgeable, but also very practical in terms of finding solutions where required" and "first-class, phenomenally bright... She is at the top of her game" by the leading legal directories.

Lisa Springate was a winner of the 'Woman of the Year (Business Growth)' 2015 Citywealth Power Women awards and is cited as a 'Leader in their field' by Chambers 2017. She is acknowledged by the leading legal directories as “a hard-working and passionate lawyer, who puts a great deal of effort into dealing with clients personally" and "impressively hardworking and judicious".

Citywealth, the financial publishing, events and networking group, say that the idea of the list, was ‘to recognise women of achievement who are opinion formers, helping to promote business excellence in their home jurisdiction and consolidating the reputations of the financial services industry globally.’ They describe those on the list as the most ‘powerful women in government, private wealth, private client advisory and philanthropy across the International Finance Centres.' They took into account recommendations from leading figures in the financial services industry when compiling the list.
