Transactions & Fiduciary Businesses
We advise sellers and buyers on the specialist trust and fiduciary aspects of their disposal/acquisition of multi-jurisdictional trust/corporate service providers.
For bidders and buyers, this includes undertaking a global due diligence exercise on the business itself (rather than the corporate structure) and advising on the risks associated with the proposed transaction, and appropriate warranties/representations and reservations, in light of the team’s findings.
Over recent years we have acted for a number of trust company buyers and sellers and private equity bidders/buyers on the legal and commercial aspects of transactions involving fiduciary businesses.
