Wilmington Trust Corporation of the US has completed the acquisition of Bingham Legg Advisers, a Boston-based wealth management firm that specialises in tax-sensitive investment strategies for high net worth individuals and families. The terms of the deal were not disclosed. Bingham Legg Advisers is now under the Wilmington Trust name and its employees are staff members of Wilmington Trust.

The firm has high net worth clients in the US, Europe, and Asia and as of 31 March 2007, it had $1.5 billion in assets under management and another $887 million in assets under supervision.
