United Kingdom

The UK combines centuries of legal tradition with a forward-looking approach to finance, making it a pivotal hub in the global wealth sector.

Saffery Trust in the UK

Changes to international and UK tax rules in the last decade have made it increasingly attractive for high-net-worth individuals and families based in the UK to settle their wealth in UK trusts.

Always focused on being where our clients need us to be, we identified an opportunity to also provide our award-winning trust and corporate services from the UK, enhancing our international offering.

Our UK offering is led by Dominic Lawton-Smith who joined Saffery Trust in 2023.
