Rory is an England and Wales qualified solicitor in the private client team at BCR, advising on all aspects of private client law from wealth structuring and succession planning to wills and probate and capacity.
Prior to joining BCR Rory studied modern history at the University of Warwick before completing his legal conversion and masters in London, subsequently qualifying as a solicitor in Jersey at a leading offshore law firm where he completed a two-year training contract. Following qualification, Rory relocated to Singapore, where he continued to expand his repertoire as a legal associate, practicing BVI and Cayman law in a fast paced and demanding environment, working with private and corporate clients based across the Asia-Pacific region. During this period Rory advised on a broad range of offshore matters spanning private client, banking, corporate and commercial, investment funds, and capital market listings, including the establishment of BVI Vista trusts and Cayman Island mutual funds to assisting with NASDAQ IPOs and BVI wills. Rory’s multidisciplinary and cross-jurisdictional background enables him to provide pragmatic, commercially informed advice, particularly where private wealth matters intersect with operating businesses and complex structures.
Since returning to Jersey, Rory has focused on his private client practice, advising individuals, families and trustees on the full spectrum of private client matters alongside traditional estate administration, wills and capacity advice.
I was born in Jersey and consider myself a Jersey citizen first and foremost, however my life has been shaped by frequent intersections with Singapore since my family moved there while I was a child. I am grateful and fortunate to have lived on two incredible islands, and the unique experience gained has strongly influenced the person that I am today, both in my personal development and in my career. Outside of law I am particularly interested in modern history, indeed I would probably be quite happy spending a whole day in a museum or castle. Aside from history I enjoy travelling, visiting National Trust sites and walking in Jersey's country lanes. My goal is to walk down every lane in Jersey at some point during my life.
