Legis Group, a Guernsey-registered fiduciary and fund administration firm, has hired Alison Mahoney as managing director of Legis Trust.

She initially trained at Coutts & Co, but joins Legis from Barclays Wealth, having returned from a secondment in Hong Kong at the end of 2007, to run the Guernsey fiduciary operation.

Stuart Platt-Ransom, group managing director, said: “Alison will be leading our fiduciary team in Guernsey as we continue to grow our Guernsey business and expand our offshore capability into new jurisdictions”.
