Escrow Agent / Custodian

Escrow Agent / Custodian

An escrow agent may be jointly appointed by parties to hold funds or other property (such as shares) in trust on their behalf while a transaction is finalised or a dispute is resolved.

We are regularly appointed to hold funds on behalf of clients pending, for example, completion of a sale and purchase transaction or arbitration proceedings. We do so on a straight-forward, fixed fee basis.
