His deep legal expertise and strategic insight into corporate governance will be instrumental in enhancing the strength and breath of our Luxembourg offering.”

In response to his new position, Dobbyn remarked, “There’s a clear demand in Luxembourg for corporate governance services delivered with legal standards, and I look forward to offering a service that will deliver real value to our clients.” This pivotal appointment highlights Mourant’s ongoing growth trajectory, further emphasised by Mourant Governance Services (Luxembourg) S.à r.l. receiving its PFS licence from the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier in 2024, which will enable the firm to provide an even broader range of corporate and fund administration services in the region.
