Neil and his team at Bankers Trust bring a high level of professionalism and a personal touch to a business which requires both attributes. They exhibit a practrical approach to addressing issues that arise during an ESOP transaction and will work with the client to achive a good result for the ESOP participants and the plan sponsor who hires them for this important service. I would highly recommend them for any ESOP transaction.
