Mancipatio is a Roman law process designating the res mancipi, (sale and transfer of an asset). This process was then again used in later times, for the making of a will. Fidus described a relation existing when one person justifiably reposes confidence and reliance in another whose aid or protection is sought in some matter. This relation requires the latter to act at all times for the sole benefit of the former with loyalty to those interests. Nowadays, this is known as Trust or Fiduciary relationship. We are an independent service provider, and this allows us to tailor bespoke structures and advisory services to individuals, families and institutional clients irrespective of complexity. Currently, we operate in three vectors, the law firm, the Holdings and Fiduciary and the asset management.
