David Gilmour, group CEO of Imperium, said: “The opening of our Abu Dhabi office represents an exciting new chapter for Imperium. The region continues to see strong demand for sophisticated private wealth solutions, and we are delighted to have Magda and Gerry leading our efforts on the ground. Their expertise and network will be invaluable as we build a market-leading offering in the Middle East.”Stratford added: “ADGM is rapidly becoming the jurisdiction of choice for internationally mobile families, family offices and private capital.
“The convergence of global wealth, regulatory innovation and institutional-grade infrastructure is creating significant opportunities for sophisticated wealth structuring, governance and succession planning solutions.
