Editorial Reviews

"[A] treasure trove for international trust lawyers." — Robert Chambers, Journal of International Banking Law and Regulation

"The book's orientation is global, its subject matter vast and detailed. It covers analyses of the laws and the often parallel, as well as contrasting, approaches to trusts over a range of jurisdictions. It purports to identify trends and developments, explains the author, but does not attempt to provide 'a comprehensive operational guidance to the laws of any particular jurisdiction." - Phillip Taylor MBE, The Barrister

"...copiously researched and lucidly written, "International Law of Trusts" is an important book." - Phillip Taylor MBE, Richmond Green Chambers

"...a remarkable achievement - jurisdictional monoglots, such as myself, have much to learn from it, and from the author's experience and example." - Toby Graham, Trusts and Trustees
