Burges Salmon advises UK private bank on the sale of its trust business

The sale of the trust business aligns with our client’s focus on simplifying its proposition and allowing it to concentrate on its core strengths as a private bank.

Our team was led by Corporate and M&A partner AJ Venter, supported by director Julie Book and associate Scott Paterson. The firm’s Corporate and M&A team worked closely with Commercial partner, Martin Cook, Employment partner, Katie Russell, Tax partner Hilary Barclay and senior associate Jessica Chesterfield and Trusts & Private Client partner Catherine de Maid and director Edward Hayes.

AJ Venter comments: “It has been a pleasure to advise on this interesting and complex transaction, alongside the wider Burges Salmon team. Completing this transaction in collaboration with our client’s deal team has been a hugely positive and rewarding experience for all involved at Burges Salmon.”
