Perpetual Private finds trust specialist for family office

Michelle Maynard has joined Perpetual Private's new family office team as a partner.

Maynard, who specialises in trusts, native title, and family succession matters, comes from Mutual Trust where she was a partner and head of trustee services.

The family office service is a new offering for Perpetual Private. Nick Lipscombe has been appointed as the head of the team, commencing in March.

"The creation of this new team is key to Perpetual Private's advice business as we continue to focus on meeting client needs and enhancing our existing offering," said Perpetual group executive Mark Smith. "Our breadth of services and commitment to deep client relationships underpins everything we do, so extending our resources and capability in the family office space is a natural progression for our business."
