Wilmington Trust Adds Private-Client Adviser in New York

Wilmington Trust Corp. (WL) has hired Lawrence Gore, formerly head of Herald National Bank's (HNB) wealth-management business, as a senior private-client adviser with its Wealth Advisory Services business in New York. He reports to Roger Hobby, president of WAS's northeastern U.S. region.

Prior to joining Herald National, New York, late in 2008, Gore spent 18 years with UBS's (UBS) U.S. private banking business, ultimately as head of a team that specialized in working with corporate executives.

In a press release Hobby said Gore's "knowledge of our business and his ability to pull together the advisory resources needed to effectively serve complex needs will make him a significant asset to" Wilmington Trust's clients.

Wilmington Trust, of Wilmington, Del., and its affiliates managed $56.9 billion at the end of March. Its WAS business provides personal-trust, wealth-planning, asset-management, and family-office services.
