Butterfield’s Corporate Trust department has extensive experience in establishing and managing a wide variety of innovative trust structures. We apply a flexible approach to the design and implementation of these complex trusts.

A trust is a versatile vehicle used to structure a range of commercial transactions. The inherent flexibility of a trust is an important feature as the provisions of a trust can be whatever is agreed between the settlor and the trustee.

The commercial uses of trusts can include:

• Trusts as investment vehicles
  
• Debt structuring
  
• Protection of assets
  
• Establishment of a trust for general business purposes
