Corporate Trusts
The specialized nature of corporate trusteeship requires advanced commercial and financial know how and skill, with the appropriate measure of experience, tact and attention to detail.
Our lawyers possess and bring all of these to bear in providing legal guidance to our corporate trust clients in relation to the peculiar legal issues they might face in their roles as trustees, agents, document custodians and fiduciaries, particularly in relation to their legal obligations as trustees.
Our corporate trustee team advises and represents trustees across a wide range of corporate trust activities, helping to structure low risk and highly effective trustee agreements. We are well abreast of legal requirements in this area, and we adequately support and guide our clients on all regulatory compliance, issuance, fiduciary duties, risk management aspects as well as post transaction services relating to restructurings, waivers, modifications of the general powers of the trustee.
As a result of current trends in the capital market, we have, in recent times, been engaged in post-sales advisory relating to restructurings, defaults, downgrades and receiverships in cognizance of our significant experience in enforcement, acceleration and restructuring of debt issues whether at the behest of the trustees or at the direction of the beneficiaries.
