International publisher Chambers & Partners has been ranking the world’s lawyers since 1990. Its legal ranking guides, which are based on personal interviews with market participants, now cover 185 jurisdictions. In 2016, Chambers published its first ever guide for the wealth management industry, ranking top law, accountancy and tax firms, private banks, wealth managers, multi-family offices and trust companies on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis.
Four Trident Trust offices were recognised as being in the top band of providers in their jurisdictions: BVI, Cayman, Singapore and South Dakota.
The editorial in the Guide recognised the Group’s “significant global foot print making it well placed to handle complex cross-border structures” and its “comprehensive service”. In addition, the Guide included positive testimonials from market participants who were interviewed about Trident Trust:
“I think they’re very responsive and they really know the market,” said one interviewee. “I have a lot of respect for the staff,” said another, “they do a lot of high-end work.” Finally, “I’m very fond of Trident,” says one. “They have a presence all over the world. I’ve sent clients to them, we have a very good relationship.
