About Hawksford

With its group headquarters in Jersey and a London office on Pall Mall, Hawksford provides corporate, private client and fund services to an international clientele. The group reports more than 6,000 clients, over 650 specialists and offices in more than twenty locations, with teams that speak upwards of forty languages. Its corporate arm helps businesses expand abroad by setting up and administering entities, appointing directors, acting as company secretary, opening bank accounts and handling accounting, tax filings, payroll and compliance. The private client side supports families through trusts, foundations, wealth structuring and family office arrangements, while a separate funds practice delivers administration, fund accounting and investor services for alternative asset managers. Dedicated country pages guide companies entering markets across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Americas, and the website is offered in English and Chinese. Being a large multi-jurisdiction group, it is a very different proposition from a small local practice.
