DENVER -- After his 30+ year career as an ERISA attorney (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) in private practice, Bruce Ashton has joined the Alta Trust Company team as General Counsel. Prior to this position, Bruce provided legal services for Alta Trust for over a decade which forged a strong, trusting professional relationship.

Bruce is an ERISA expert with an extensive background in retirement income and collective investment trusts (CITs), making him an ideal candidate to serve as Alta Trust's General Counsel. As a CIT sponsor, one of Alta Trust's main pillars of business is CIT formation and administration. Alta Trust's established platform only serves to be enhanced by Bruce's knowledge.

"We have the utmost trust in Bruce's judgment. As a nationally recognized ERISA attorney, he's masterful in his practice and is an important player in the industry. We're thrilled to benefit from his expertise on an in-house basis," said Adam Ponder, CEO of Alta Trust Company.

Joining a team of professionals Bruce knows and trusts is what led him to this role. "Alta Trust has always wanted to do the right thing for their clients, as opposed to what makes them the most money, which is consistent with my views," said Bruce. "I am excited to work alongside colleagues who do high-quality, ethical work."
