Private trust companies: How families structure control, succession and governance

In this episode of our Family Office Stories podcast, we're joined by Andrew McCallum, Senior Partner at Rawlinson & Hunter and Chair of STEP Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

In this episode dedicated to private wealth structures, we explore how families approach succession planning and asset protection using trusts, and why private trust companies are gaining traction. From the legal mechanics of trusts and how Switzerland — as a civil law country without its own substantive trust law — administers foreign-law trusts under the Hague Convention to governance, confidentiality and regulatory developments, we explore how families structure influence, manage complexity and navigate an increasingly professionalised trust landscape.
