HS Trustees has expanded its team with the appointment of Palwinder Hare as a professional trustee.
Hare has extensive legal experience particularly in relation to mergers and acquisitions, and until very recently was head of group legal for M&A and corporate at the investment bank Standard Chartered. In this role he was responsible for the group’s M&A transactions, corporate matters and legal support for group functions and governance issues.
Hare is also an accredited professional trustee who is currently a trustee director with two large pension schemes. In addition to the trustee boards, he serves on board committees covering governance, administration, audit, risk, investment and funding.
HS Trustees says this appointment widens the firms remit. It currently offers specialisms which cover sustainability, investment, administration, governance, mastertrust, de-risking, with-profits and now legal.
HS Trustees MD Bobby Riddaway says that Hare’s appointment “not only increases the expertise on the panel, but also increases our capacity to take on new clients”.
