Legis Group, the Guernsey-based trust and fund administration firm, has expanded its fiduciary team with the appointment of Steve Bougourd as associate director of its trust and corporate division.

Bougourd has worked in various Guernsey-based, bank-owned trust companies over the past 20 years, and during this time has been responsible for key client relationships and international structuring and tax arrangements for private and institutional clients, along with business development, Legis said in a statement.
