President and Founder

Elizabeth L. Thomson established ICS TRUST in Hong Kong in 1980 to support multinationals and private companies who were just starting to venture into business and trade with China and other parts of Asia. She believed her company, built on a foundation of trust and operating with the same high standards as top law firms, would thrive if it offered clients the sort of superior business services and loyal personal relationships that would let them focus on ensuring their own success. Proof of her vision and her leadership is the company’s steady growth for more than 30 years.

Ms. Thomson describes herself as a lawyer by profession, an entrepreneur by choice. She is a Governor of both the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong and the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, a founding member of AmCham’s Entrepreneurs Group, full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), fellow of the Asia Offshore Association, member of the International Tax Planning Association and member of the Hong Kong Trustees Association. Ms. Thomson is a member of the Law Societies of Ontario (Canada), the U.K., Hong Kong and Australia.
