Solas Fiduciary Services Expands Global Reach with New Office in Dubai International Financial Centre
Solas Fiduciary Services (Solas), a leading name in directorships and corporate governance, has taken a significant step in its growth strategy by inaugurating a new office at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). This move underlines Solas’ commitment to strengthening its footprint in major financial hubs around the world, particularly in a region burgeoning with economic potential and financial innovation.
Located in the heart of the Middle East’s premier financial district, the new Dubai office provides Solas with a strategic platform to offer clients direct access to its renowned international expertise. This expansion is designed to meet the increasing demand for high-quality governance services in the region, aligning with Dubai’s vision to become a global financial hub.
Martin O’Regan, Managing Director at Solas Fiduciary Services, expressed enthusiasm about the new chapter for the firm. He highlighted that the Dubai office would allow Solas to extend the trusted services already offered in Singapore and Hong Kong to clients entering the Middle East market. “Being in the heart of a thriving financial ecosystem and close to leading global fund managers will accelerate our growth and enhance the value we deliver,” O’Regan noted.
The decision to enter the Middle East market comes as a natural progression for Solas, which prides itself on being Asia’s only privately owned pure-play directorship firm. Corina Quah, Director at Solas, emphasized the alignment between Dubai’s commitment to building a transparent and well-regulated onshore financial environment and Solas’ own core values. She also extended gratitude towards key figures at DIFC Authority—Salmaan Jaffery, Jonathan Beardall, and Roula Omran—for their warm welcome and support throughout the firm’s application process.
O’Regan further accentuated Solas’ strength in blending a global network with deep regional insights, underscoring the firm’s dedication to providing exceptional governance services. This new presence aims to support existing clients across the Middle East while also forming strong new partnerships within the region.
