Saffery Trust, a multi-jurisdictional provider of private client trust and corporate services, has announced the launch of its dedicated UK service offering. This expansion brings 50 years of international expertise to the UK market, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to meeting clients’ evolving wealth structuring needs.
Building on its established presence in Guernsey, Switzerland, Dubai, and the Cayman Islands, the move into the UK represents a strategic milestone in the award-winning firm’s journey. Dominic Lawton-Smith has been appointed as Managing Director of the new UK offering, after joining the firm in 2023.
“We are excited to bring our global capabilities to the UK, providing clients with tailored, trusted support through every stage of their wealth journey,” said Dominic.
The UK is a natural extension for the firm’s international offering. With a transparent regulatory environment rooted in English common law, access to world-class advisors, and global recognition as a hub for wealth structuring, the UK continues to be a jurisdiction of choice for high-net-worth individuals and their families.
The global team has deep expertise in non-standard luxury assets, digital assets, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) portfolios, contentious matters, and working with family offices. As part of its commitment to personalised service, Saffery Trust maintains a notably low client-to-staff ratio, ensuring clients receive personalised care and attention.
With respect to trustee services, Saffery Trust operates in close collaboration with Saffery LLP, with clearly defined independent, yet complementary offerings.
“We take the time to understand our clients’ personal, financial, business circumstances and objectives in detail to determine the most appropriate solution, whether that’s via co-trustee arrangements with Saffery LLP or Saffery Trust’s sole-trustee and corporate services. We also work in partnership with our incredibly strong network of specialist intermediaries built over decades, ensuring our clients have access to the right people at the right time,” added Dominic.
