History

In December 2015, "Appleby Fiduciary Business (AFB)", a Bermuda registered company and a branch of the law firm Appleby, was separated out legally from Appleby (Bermuda) through a management buy out by the private equity firm "Bridgepoint".[4] In April 2016, it changed its name to "Estera", with the Group Chief Executive Officer being Farah Ballands.[5] The company has offices in 11 locations.[6]

The name of the new company was chosen based on inputs from their staff.[7]

Estera was involved in the Paradise Papers leak.

Subsequent Acquisitions

In 2017, Estera acquired Morgan Sharpe (in Guernsey), Heritage financial services group (in Belfast and Malta) and Headstart s.a.r.l (Luxembourg).[8]
