Saffery Trust is pleased to announce that five of our private client specialists have been recognised in the latest Private Client Global Elite listings, reflecting the strength of our international team and the trust placed in us by the wider professional community.
Featured in the non-legal advisor category, this year’s listing sees the return of Dominic Lawton-Smith, Lisa Vizia, Donna Brehaut, and Lee Hart, each of whom has featured in previous editions. Their continued recognition speaks to the trust they’ve built over time, not only with clients but with peers and advisors across the industry. Whether supporting international families, trustees, or fellow professionals, their approach combines technical rigour with a deep understanding of what our clients value most – clear communication, proactive thinking and a personal touch.
We’re also delighted to see Judith Chatoo, Head of Private Clients in our Geneva office, included in the listings for the first time. Judith works closely with families across multiple jurisdictions, helping them to navigate complexity with clarity. Her inclusion reflects her outstanding work and the confidence placed in her by clients and collaborators alike.
Nick Batiste, Managing Director at Saffery Trust, said:
“We’re thrilled to see five of our team featured in this year’s listings. It reflects the high standards we set, the personal commitment we bring to each relationship, and the confidence others in the industry place in us. We’re especially pleased to see Judith recognised for the first time, which is richly deserved.”
The Private Client Global Elite directory is built on peer nominations and is widely regarded as a go-to resource for those seeking trusted advisors. To have five individuals from Saffery Trust named is a reflection of how we work – collaboratively, with our clients’ best interests at heart, and with an unwavering focus on delivering quality advice and service.
We’d like to thank those who nominated our colleagues this year and offer congratulations to everyone included in the 2026 edition. View the full list here.
