Maitland extends international credentials with new Monaco office

Maitland, the premium international wealth and professional services firm, today announces the launch of a new office in Monaco.

The Monaco office extends Maitland’s footprint to 12 offices worldwide, expanding the firm’s strong reputation in cross-border work. It follows the recent opening of Maitland’s Cayman office, headed by former Walkers partner Sara Collins.

Maitland’s deputy chairman Michael Solomon and partner Chris Theo will jointly be responsible for developing the Monaco office. Together they have many years’ private client and corporate experience with expertise in complex cross-border work and a deep understanding of multiple jurisdictions.

Maitland’s Monaco office will provide integrated wealth preservation and tax planning, succession planning, fiduciary and company management services. Maitland not only provides the initial planning but can also establish, manage and administer the international structures required by its clients.

Solomon, who has been with Maitland for over 20 years and has relocated from the London office, is a seasoned corporate and private client lawyer. He advises high net worth individuals and companies on their international tax and succession planning needs and provides strategic solutions for their commercial interests, such as mergers and acquisitions and joint ventures in multiple jurisdictions, and manages the implementation of those solutions.

As an international lawyer with specialist expertise in international contracts, Theo has a wealth of experience advising and representing high-net-worth individuals in a wide variety of affairs, with an impressive background in dispute resolution.

Monaco’s popularity as a favourite destination for high-net-worth individuals has increased substantially over the last few years, offering a safe, secure, and low-tax environment on the Cote D’Azur. Under the guidance of HSH Albert II, the Principality is actively pursuing its goal of becoming a world-class financial and commercial centre, and is a key reason why Monaco is of such interest to Maitland.

Maitland MD Steve Georgala said: “We are in an exciting phase of expansion and growth at Maitland. As the firm is not jurisdictionally bound we are in a unique position to offer clients cross-border solutions. A Monaco office will bring this benefit to the international private and corporate clients who increasingly require sophisticated solutions in this jurisdiction. Monaco offers significant business opportunities and Michael Solomon and Chris Theo both have the expertise to fill a much-needed gap in complex high-end work.

“Maitland is well suited and positioned to contribute to Monaco’s growth and reputation as a premier international financial centre.”
