We are a group of enthusiastic lawyers who are keen to fill the gaps in the legal services market from 2009 while operating at the intersection of mature and emerging markets with different risk management cultures.
We love to take an idea and turn it into a legal structure that is attractive and reliable for entrepreneurs and investors.
We work with investors and those seeking funds, banks, and HNWIs, established companies, and startups. We can help to make your business from scratch in the UK or work with your expansion into Dubai. We can park your money in Austria or help invest it in Cyprus.
We work with colleagues from Switzerland and the US, Monaco, and Mauritius, Lebanon and Lithuania, Serbia, and Ukraine. The world has shrunk and we are there to hold it. We are FjM.
