“We are thrilled to welcome Malaqui to the Maples Group,” said Huber. “With private clients and family offices becoming ever more sophisticated and their needs increasingly complex, the demand for high quality trust and fiduciary support has never been greater. We are confident that her deep experience and knowledge of trust and corporate services will enhance our position as a leading provider in the space.”
