The offshore legal, fiduciary and administration services firm
Appleby has announced that Bermudian lawyer Sophie Tod has joined its Bermuda private client and trusts team.

Tod joined Appleby as a senior associate in May 2009. She has around 10 years of experience working for law firms in Geneva, the UK and Bermuda, and has also worked as legal counsel for the Bermuda Monetary Authority, where she advised on the regulation of the trust, insurance and investment industries, and assisted in drafting associated legislation.

In related news, Appleby named Carlos de Serpa Pimentel, latterly a lead trust practitioner at the firm’s Cayman Islands office, as the new global practice group head of its private client and trusts practice division in March.
