This book provides a systematic and critical analysis of the role trusts play in modern commercial markets.

Commercial trusts are complex and ever-evolving, and a reassessment of the traditional legal norms relating to them is much needed in order to provide new doctrinal insights. The book does just that: focusing on trusts in the UK, while drawing on developments in European jurisdictions and in China. It presents a thought-provoking assessment and a unified understanding of commercial trusts.
