Forbes Hare’s international private client practice is expanding with the addition of Marcus Parker, who joins as a partner in the firm’s Cayman Islands office.
Parker is an international private client lawyer whose practice focuses on devising and developing international structures and strategies to preserve and enhance the global wealth of affluent international families. He also advises in relation to contentious trust-related matters. Prior to joining Forbes Hare he was an equity partner of New Quadrant Partners LLP, a leading private client law firm in London.
Forbes Hare managing partner, William Hare, said: “Marcus has a superb international reputation as a private client lawyer and we are delighted that he is joining us. He shares both our values and our determination to deliver exceptional client service, and I am confident that he will have great success in further developing the services we offer to private clients.”
Marcus Parker added: “I am delighted to be joining Forbes Hare in the Cayman Islands. With offices in the BVI, the Cayman Islands and London, the firm is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the increasing need for high quality, offshore-based, private client lawyers to cater for international private clients. I look forward to developing the Private Wealth team at Forbes Hare over the coming years.”
Parker joins a growing private client and trusts practice at Forbes Hare. The firm announced the launch of an affiliated trust company in the Cayman Islands earlier this year under the leadership of former ATC managing director, Peter Goddard. The firm’s expanding team now comprises three partners and ten staff in the Cayman Islands, part of a wider team of over 50 across three offices in the BVI, the Cayman Islands and London.
