Maitland, an international wealth and professional services firm, has opened its thirteenth worldwide office in Malta.
 
Services offered will include the formation and administration of Maltese companies and other entities, as well as the provision of directorships, accounting and related services. 

Maitland is licensed by the Maltese Financial Services Authority as a trust company and can provide a full range of trustee and fiduciary services. 

It also plans to establish a fund services offering in Malta and to provide client relationship services to investment funds administered through its fund services operation in Cape Town.
 
The office will be headed by Dr Ian Crockford who has joined Maitland. Dr Crockford is dual qualified as a Maltese lawyer and as a Chartered Certified Accountant.
 
The Malta team will work closely with the firm's international legal, tax, fund services and asset management experts to provide integrated solutions for its clients.
 
Maitland managing director Steve Georgala says: 'Since joining the EU in 2004 and the Eurozone in January 2008, Malta has developed rapidly into a sophisticated financial services centre, offering a safe, secure and low-tax environment for high-net-worth individuals and companies.
 
'As Maitland is not jurisdictionally bound, we are in a unique position to offer clients cross-border solutions. Our international private and corporate clients are increasingly identifying the opportunities Malta has to offer, and require sophisticated solutions in this jurisdiction. It therefore makes good business sense to open an office here to satisfy this demand, and advance our strategy for growth.'
