Law firm McDermott Will & Emery has appointed former
senior Withers lawyer Ziva Robertson as a partner in its international private
client practice group, based in London. Robertson specialises in complex cross-jurisdictional trust
issues advising trustees, beneficiaries, settlors and protectors on contentious
and non-contentious cases. Among her cases was that of the RBS Coutts v W case on
trust and divorce in the Cayman Islands, as
well as other high-profile cases such as the Lemos litigation and the recent
case of AB v MB on equitable compensation, McDermott Will & Emery said in a
statement. She is qualified in England
& Wales, the Cayman
Islands and the British Virgin Islands.
Robertson also assists with structuring family businesses through the use of
trusts, foundations and holding companies across the US,
Latin America, the Caribbean, Switzerland,
the Channel Islands and the Middle East and the UK. Robertson joined Withers in 2009, having previously led
Mourant’s Cayman trust litigation practice. McDermott Will & Emery has more
than 1,100 lawyers around the world, and some 65 lawyers in its private
client segment.
