The Maples Group, a leading legal and international financial services provider, is pleased to announce the launch of its Corporate Trust offering from its London office.
Officially launched on 8 June 2026, the provision of Corporate Trust services enables the Maples Group to support clients both domestically and internationally across a wide spectrum of financing structures. These span debt capital markets as well as secured and unsecured financing, comprising structured and corporate finance and private equity transactions. This expansion enhances the Maples Group’s ability to deliver a comprehensive, holistic and integrated suite of corporate and fiduciary services in the UK, at the gold standard the Maples Group is universally renowned for.
Under its Corporate Trust mandate, the Maples Group will act as Security Trustee by holding, administering and, where required, enforcing legal security on behalf of beneficiaries, including in connection with restructurings / refinancings, defaults, distressed transactions, work-outs and insolvencies. In this capacity, it will support borrower clients in raising capital across complex financing arrangements. As a Note Trustee, the Maples Group will act as an independent third-party fiduciary, representing the interests of investors in connection with debt securities issuances, including stand-alone bond issuances and MTN programmes, securitisations, covered bonds and CLOs. Collectively, these services will provide clients with a robust and flexible solution across the full lifecycle of financing transactions.
In addition to major efficiencies from a cost standpoint, clients have welcomed the ability to obtain a comprehensive offering for core transaction services, such as corporate services and accountancy, from one single service provider in the UK.
The Maples Group has a substantial presence in London, with a deep bench of senior and experienced professionals, providing corporate and fiduciary services to structured finance, investment and corporate structures. The team has broad expertise across investment banking, law, structured finance and private equity, dedicated to swift and efficient execution, and adding real value to the boards they serve.
“We are delighted to launch our Security Trustee services to the UK, which addresses a significant gap in the market,” said Sam Ellis – Global Head of Fiduciary Services. “Our clients have been clear in their preference for a new and alternative player to act as Security and/or Note Trustee in London and welcome our ability to fulfil this key role as part of an integrated suite of corporate services on both domestic UK securitisations and complex, cross-border transactions.”
