The conference provides an opportunity for delegates to discuss current challenges impacting trusts internationally, while connecting with the full breadth of the private client network to generate impactful engagement.

Having acted as a director of high-value trust and holding companies, Nicola has a deep personal insight into the complexities of acting as a trustee.
