The Maples Group has passed an employment milestone in its fiftieth year of operation.

The fiduciary, fund, regulatory, and entity formation specialist recently welcomed its two thousandth member of staff.

Memorable

Global managing partner Alasdair Robertson (pictured) said "2019 has certainly been a memorable year for us. In addition to reaching this milestone, opening our Shanghai and Jersey offices following the successful launch of our Luxembourg legal practice, we also rolled out a complex rebrand."

In January 2019, Maples and Calder and MaplesFS consolidated their offerings under a single brand, now called the Maples Group.

'Multiple business lines'

"This rebrand reflects our clients' desire to use us across multiple business lines and time zones with the assurance of a seamless service.

"Otherwise, there has been no change in the management or ownership structure and we continue to be one of the largest independently-owned organisations of our kind."

Over the last twelve months the Maples Group has opened new offices in Abu Dhabi, Bermuda, China, Jersey and Luxembourg.
