Angela is a Partner in Collas Crill's Private Client and Trusts team in Guernsey.

Her core strengths are in establishing, reorganising and winding up Guernsey trust and foundation structures (including pension and gratuity schemes) and assisting trustees in navigating the administration of those structures in accordance with their fiduciary duties.

As a former litigator prior to moving to Guernsey, Angela is great at spotting thorny issues early and assisting trustees and beneficiaries to resolve conflict before things escalate into litigation.

Day to day, Angela's caseload is very varied. Recently she has established private trust companies and private trustee foundations with multiple underlying trusts and companies for both domestic and international families in conjunction with some of the UK's leading City firms. She has established multi-million dollar pensions and end of service gratuity schemes for multiple UAE companies and she has also assisted trustees in deliberating 'momentous decisions' and mediating the interests of warring beneficiaries.

Prior to settling down in Guernsey in 2012 she practiced law in the UK, Singapore and Dubai and this has enabled her to not only build a wide and diverse professional network but also to have a cultural appreciation of many of the clients and intermediaries that she works with which gives her a real edge in terms of building rapport.

Angela has been a Solicitor of England & Wales since 2003 and an Advocate of the Royal Court of Guernsey since 2020.

James is responsible for implementing Guernsey Finance's business development strategy to promote the island as a global finance specialist and connect Guernsey’s industry in its chosen target markets.

Rhona is a Group Director of Imperium Group Holdings having joined the company in 2012 in the combined role of Client Services Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Guernsey Trust Company. 

Rhona has 30 years’ experience in the Guernsey fiduciary sector, managing clients from multiple jurisdictions and many varied asset types. 

Previously Rhona was a Director of a locally-based Trust Company, where she was responsible for the organisation’s trust and company management and administration team. This included work relating to property investment, employee benefit trusts, trading relationships, pension products, limited partnerships and New Zealand trusts, to name a few. 

Rhona also has experience running managed trust services for third parties who want the benefits of being in Guernsey whilst not wishing to establish their own trust companies. 

She plays large part in developing policies and procedures, enabling efficient and effective client service, whilst maintaining an appropriate level of control over a client’s affairs. 

Rhona is a member of STEP, a Fellow of the Institute of Directors, and previously the Chairman of the Guernsey Association of Trustees. 

In her spare time, Rhona enjoys playing badminton, year-round sea swimming, and travelling abroad on holiday.
