We
serve as fiduciaries in a variety of circumstances. As such,
we act in accordance with appointment documents usually sanctioned
by a court and typically on the nomination of a government regulator
or financial institution.
We
have been repeatedly nominated for such roles by the United States Department
of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal
Trade Commission, the California Department of Financial Institutions and
various financial institutions and bondholders.
We have been approved by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System to own, as trustee, controlling interests in a
Registered Bank Holding Company.
We
have substantial bonding capacity, although we frequently serve
without bond.
We
have functioned to hold and actively manage properties pending
resolution of disputes between shareholders. We have been appointed
to liquidate substantial holdings of closely held corporations.
We have served as trustee for assets owned by the United States.
We have liquidated a variety of enterprises ranging from hotels
to hospitals to banks.
As
fiduciary, we have managed portfolios ranging from thousands of
assets around the world to a single property.
Appointments
as a fiduciary normally name Mr. Evans as Trustee, Receiver or
such similar title as may be appropriate to the circumstances.
