Overview
Corporate trustees are specialist entities that operate in highly regulated areas of the financial markets and in the complex area of structured finance, including securitisations.
We guide our clients through the complexities of highly regulated areas
Corporate trustees require specialist advisers familiar with these highly regulated and complex areas, and with the issues that concern corporate trustees having regard to the relevant regulations, the expectations of the Financial Markets Authority (the financial markets regulator and issuer of relevant licenses) and any fiduciary responsibilities.
We have acted for corporate trustees for more than three decades
We have acted for corporate trustees across all areas of their involvement for more than three decades. We are well placed to provide the specialist advice required by corporate trustees.
We understand all aspects of the corporate trustee's role and have worked on appointments including:
- Simple managed investment schemes
- Corporate debt issues (secured, unsecured, subordinated, listed)
- Security trustee and escrow agent roles
- Complex asset-backed securitisation structures.
We have also advised the Corporate Trustees Association - the industry representative body for corporate trustees.
