Jersey-headquartered global professional services provider JTC continues its expansion into the US.

JTC is opening a new office in Wyoming, as part of its growth strategy, expanding its private capital services proposition to three specialist trust jurisdictions in the US.

The new office in Jackson, Wyoming, will offer a range of flexible trust administration and fiduciary services and structuring solutions, including private trust companies (PTCs), to support the ambitions of high and ultra-high net worth private clients, families and family offices.

Having recently received its Trust Charter in Wyoming, JTC is an independent non-bank owned trust company offering trust administration services across specialist US trust jurisdictions including Delaware, South Dakota and Wyoming.

Having adopted the Uniform Trust Code in 2003, Wyoming's legislature has regularly amended the State’s trust laws to position it as an adaptable, leading US trust jurisdiction. Its pro-business approach, robust legislation and modern and progressive corporate statutes make it a highly attractive location for wealth structuring.

JTC has experience in the US market stretching back more than a decade, with the establishment of representative offices in Miami in 2013 and New York in 2014, the firm said in a statement.

The Wyoming team will be led by Matt Tobin and Laura Dandridge, who bring regional expertise and a track record in delivering trust and wealth structuring solutions.

“JTC remains focused on growing its proposition in the US market, and on providing a comprehensive suite of high-quality specialized trust and fiduciary services to clients in the region,” Tobin, co-regional head – JTC Private Capital Services, said. “The opening of our new office in Wyoming complements our office locations in Delaware and South Dakota. This represents a significant milestone in our US strategy, enhancing our visibility and connectivity in the market and giving our clients more choices.”

As part of JTC’s growing US platform, the new office in Wyoming complements the firm’s network of international offices across Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean, Asia and Africa. The firm also recently bolstered Latin America offering with its new office in Brazil.
