Sevyn is a Partner and Jersey Advocate in Bedell Cristin's International Private Client team, based in Jersey.
Sevyn is a private wealth specialist, experienced in advising corporate trustees, settlors, beneficiaries, high-net-worth individuals and intermediaries on matters relevant to Jersey trusts and foundations. Amongst other matters, he regularly advises on the establishment and administration of (and the provision of ongoing advice to) both family offices and private trust company structures, and he has considerable expertise in advising on complex cross-jurisdictional trust and corporate restructuring matters.
Sevyn is also regularly instructed by high-net-worth families and their family offices to coordinate their offshore interests.
As part of his practice, Sevyn works alongside colleagues from Bedell Cristin's Corporate & Commercial team on large transactions where there are trust or foundation elements, and also assists Litigation & Dispute Resolution colleagues with contentious and semi-contentious matters.
Sevyn trained at the London law firm Payne Hicks Beach before moving to New Quadrant Partners, a boutique private client practice, where he specialised in private client and tax work. He moved to Jersey in 2014 to join Ogier's trust team, where he spent four years, then joining Walkers' Private Capital & Trusts where he was most recently a Partner.
