History
Advocate George Bedell set up his practice at 21 Hill Street, St Helier, Jersey in 1939. He had previously been commissioned to introduce income tax to the island and was appointed first Comptroller of Income Tax for Jersey in 1928. After moving back to England during the war, he returned to Jersey and set up in partnership with another prominent lawyer, Dick Cristin – founding Bedell and Cristin, as it was then known, in 1958.
Dick Cristin helped pioneer the abolition of the statutory 5% cap on interest rates in 1962.
Bedell Trust rebranded to Ocorian in November 2016. The company is an independent provider of outsourced administration, fiduciary, and accounting services to the corporate, funds, private client, and real estate sectors.
