WHY CorpTrust

Most trust and corporate service providers are administrative businesses.

CorpTrust is different.

We are:

  • Lawyer-led — enabling deeper risk analysis and judgment

  • STEP-qualified — aligned with global private-client standards

  • London-based — operating from a leading legal jurisdiction

  • Adviser-friendly — structured to complement existing professional teams

This allows us to address:

  • Jurisdictional conflict

  • Succession risk

  • Governance failures

  • Structural inefficiencies

  • Long-term family objectives

Our work begins with understanding the family, the assets, and the jurisdictions involved.

We then:

  1. Identify structural and succession risks

  2. Design appropriate trust and corporate frameworks

  3. Coordinate with existing advisers

  4. Implement structures with long-term governance in mind

We work quietly, precisely, and deliberately.

CorpTrust is a London-based international trust and corporate advisory firm, led by a UK-qualified lawyer and STEP-qualified practitioner, advising HNW and UHNW families on the stewardship of wealth across borders and generations.
