Victoria Connolly Email and Phone Number

I have a broad non-contentious and semi-contentious trust practice, which includes advising on new and complex trust structures, drafting trust and ancillary instruments and advising trustees in connection with the ongoing administration of trusts under their care. I regularly advise in connection with employee benefit trusts, pension trusts and other similar structures as well as private family trusts, charitable trusts, non-charitable purpose trusts and foundations, acting for and advising institutional trustees in Jersey and elsewhere and also high net worth private clients and family offices.In addition, I have dealt with numerous applications to the Royal Court of Jersey and have been regularly acting for both trustees and beneficiaries in all types of trust proceedings, including applications by trustees for directions from the Royal Court, including in the context of beneficiaries who are involved in divorce proceedings before foreign courts, or for the blessing by the Royal Court of particularly momentous or controversial decisions and applications for the variation or rectification of trust instruments and ancillary documents. I have had conduct of several ground-breaking and high profile cases before the Royal Court involving the setting aside of transactions on the ground of mistake, Hastings Bass applications and applications to the Royal Court by trustees who had been invalidly appointed.
