Dominic Lawton-Smith
Spear’s Review
London-based Dominic Lawton-Smith assists Saffery Trust partners and clients in jurisdictions around the world – including the Cayman Islands, Dubai, Switzerland and the Channel Islands – in finding suitable and efficient structures for their wealth and assets.
Lawton-Smith has a great deal of experience in governing the financial affairs of some of the world’s highest-net-worth families. While much of his time is now spent in supporting colleagues in protecting their clients, he still sees individuals and takes an active role in their businesses and intergenerational planning.
He joined Saffery in 2023 after more than 20 years in client-facing and oversight roles in international finance companies.
