trusts

Browne Jacobson’s highly experienced trust team provides specialist legal advice to both private and commercial clients on setting-up a variety of trusts. Often regarded as tax saving devices, trusts can be used to hold and protect assets for various reasons and the team provides clients with expert advice to maximise the associated benefits.

A close relationship and full understanding of client needs allows the team to advise on all implications and opportunities. For private clients, trusts can shelter long term assets ensuring family, as opposed to individual, ownership. Trusts are often used with organisations and estates to enable the family to maintain financial benefits while trustees have legal ownership. Trusts can also be used for employee assets in connection with incentive or share schemes.

In all cases, it is essential that concerned parties are confident that their assets are held in safe keeping and, with the right advice, trusts are ideal. Browne Jacobson’s experience and skill in this area is highlighted by its client base, which includes leading accountants working in this field and trust companies both in the UK and offshore.
