RICHARD GRASBY - PARTNER HONG KONG

I  am a Partner in Appleby’s Hong Kong office, leading the Private Client, Trusts and Family Office practice.

I advise trustees, ultra-high net worth individuals, private trust companies and family offices on the establishment, restructuring and administration of trusts. I regularly assist in estate administration, succession planning and family governance. Private clients and family offices instruct me to advise on the use of corporate vehicles for asset holding and succession planning purposes. I am an expert in regulatory law including AML, AEOI, economic substance, sanctions and licensing and risk management for trust companies. I also advise on collective investment funds, particularly unit trusts and private label funds.

I have acted for many of the world’s leading trust companies, financial institutions, wealthy individuals and related structures. I have experience with dealing with clients and advisors across the globe.

I have over 23 years’ post qualification experience with the majority spent in offshore firms. I have lived and worked in Jersey, London, the Cayman Islands and (since 2009) Hong Kong. I am admitted as a solicitor in England and Wales and the British Virgin Islands and am a Registered Foreign Lawyer in Hong Kong. I have also been admitted as an Attorney in the Cayman Islands.

Recently, I have been recognised in the 2023 edition of the Private Client Global Elite Directory and also selected as one of the world’s leading practitioners in the Who’s Who Legal Thought Leaders: Private Client 2023 report.
