Trinity Chancery and Trusts barrister, James Marwick will be a guest speaker at the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) North East and Cumbria Branch meeting on Thursday 8th May.
James Marwick will explore the implications of SM v HM (2011) EWHC B30 (Court of Protection) and in particular whether it is ever, and if so in what circumstances, appropriate for the Court of Protection to authorise the creation of a personal injury trust as a means of administering assets, rather than the appointment of a Deputy under s 16 of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. James is a member of Trinity Chambers' Agriculture, Business, Chancery and Personal Injury practice groups. Prior to returning to the North-East to practise at the Bar, James was a commercial and trusts litigator for a prominent offshore law firm in the Channel Islands.

Jamie specialises in investment, tax and wealth management and regularly advises trustees of private trusts including personal injury trusts.
