Lawyer Max Quin is retiring from LOM Financial, having served as an independent director on the company’s board for 13 years.

LOM said today Mr Quin has brought a wealth of expertise in international corporate law to LOM throughout his tenure: “An accomplished attorney, he earned his Bachelor of Laws from the University of London in 1972 and began his career as a tax barrister in London before working in the Middle East and as a banker in the United Kingdom.

“Upon relocating to Bermuda, Mr Quin became a respected figure in both the legal and financial sectors. He was the proprietor of MLH Quin & Co, which became Wakefield Quin Ltd after a 2001 merger.“

Scott Lines, chairman and CEO of LOM said: “On behalf of the entire board, I would like to extend our deepest gratitude to Max for his counsel, professionalism and unwavering commitment over the years.

“His contributions have helped shape the governance and strategic direction of our company and he leaves behind a legacy of unwavering integrity.”

Trevor Torzsas has been appointed as an independent director of the company.

The company said Mr Torzsas has had almost 30 years of experience in the financial services industry, including 11 years as managing director at CIBC First Caribbean where he led global account management and strategy.

He is managing partner of TCR Advisory, focusing on customer centric digital transformation, product development and payments innovation across the Caribbean, Central and South America.

Mr Lines said: "His intimate knowledge of digital transformation and customer experience in international financial services will be an asset to our organisation. We look forward to his guidance and the fresh perspective he will bring as we continue to grow and evolve.“
