Trusts & Companies

Trusts and CompaniesAs a trustee or company director you will have responsibilities to shareholders and beneficiaries that you want to be sure you can discharge with confidence and the minimum of fuss. At Pilling & Co we understand what it is to take responsibility for others’ financial well-being and we can help you.

We do not advise on trust construction or company formation – our expertise concerns managing the assets of such vehicles – but we work closely with many qualified practitioners who can, thus ensuring we have no conflict of interests in our work for you.
