---

Location: Live Online

This webinar is designed to be your basic induction and survival guide. It will introduce newly appointed Trustees to the dynamics and role of the professional Trustee who operates offshore and act as a reminder of the high duty of care that is required to avoid regulatory censure and warn of some of the more common pitfalls where Trustees have mismanaged trusts. It explores what makes a Trustee "fit and proper" by examining their duties, powers and liabilities by reference both to the legal and regulatory framework and via contemporary case studies that are worked through.
