Press Release from Carey Olsen, Friday 7 February, 2025.
Carey Olsen partner Alexa Saunders has been elected to The International Academy of Estate and Trust Law (TIAETL), a highly selective group of recognised experts in trusts, estate planning, succession and related areas of law from across 41 jurisdictions.
Individuals elected to this invitation-only Academy must have practised law in the Academy’s areas of interest for at least ten years and have distinguished themselves in the practice and development of the law in their country.
Alexa is head of Carey Olsen’s trusts and private wealth group in Jersey and has a broad non-contentious trust practice. She regularly advises on private family trusts, employee benefit trusts and pension trusts, including on the establishment of new trust structures, drafting trust and ancillary instruments and the administration and restructuring of complex trust structures.
With almost 20 years’ experience in the trusts and private wealth sector, Alexa is ranked as a Leading Partner in The Legal 500 UK and is ranked Band 1 for Trusts in Chambers UK, Chambers High Net Worth and Chambers Global.
Alexa commented: “It is an honour to have been invited to join TIAETL and become a part of this prestigious global network of estate and trust professionals. I look forward to being a representative for Jersey trust law and joining members at the Academy’s future annual meetings to discuss developments in trust and estate law around the world.”
Alexa joins fellow Carey Olsen partners Keith Robinson (Bermuda), Bernadette Carey (Cayman Islands), and Russell Clark (Guernsey) as existing members of the Academy.
