He has particular experience in advising licensed trustee companies in all areas of the corporate trustee role, including retail, wholesale, listed and unlisted debt issues, establishing and administering managed investment schemes and securitisation structures. Shane also assisted the Trustee Corporations Association of New Zealand (now, Corporate Trustees Association) with their submissions on the Trusts Act 2019.
