In addition, the Hong Kong office will also deliver the standard services offered by Maples Fiduciary’s offices globally, including directorships, trusts, board support, private client and accounting services.

Maples Fiduciary said that the opening of Hong Kong office will provide further on-the-ground resources for clients in the region.

Moreover, Charlie Sparrow, who was formerly a lawyer with Maples and Calder in London and Hong Kong, has been relocated to Maples Fiduciary as regional head of fiduciary Hong Kong to lead the growth of the new office and its services.
