There are a number of reasons to appoint a professional trustee. Most commonly, our clients want to relieve what can be an overwhelming governance and administrative burden on the company and existing trustees, allowing company appointed trustees to focus on the needs of the business.

Appointing an independent trustee can also eliminate potential conflicts of interest, while providing access to expert opinion and knowledge that can help ensure the decisions you make today don’t have adverse consequences in the future.
