This week, we hosted our latest Innovation Hackathon in partnership with Harvey - bringing together future leaders and cutting-edge AI. "We were among the very first firms globally to collaborate with Harvey, and that early decision continues to pay dividends. By carefully integrating AI in a strategic and measured manner, we are opening new avenues for insight, precision, and creativity. What excites me most is seeing our trainees embrace this technology with curiosity and ambition. We have built a senior, experienced team to lead our global AI projects, and they will be working closely with the next generation of Maples lawyers. Together, we will set standards for a world-class, innovative legal practice and partner with our clients to deliver exceptional value to their businesses." - Peter Stapleton, Managing Partner "As we continue to advance our collaboration with Harvey, our focus remains on delivering exceptional outcomes for our clients.

https://lnkd.in/eU8iSXi8 | We are proud to mark the 20th anniversary of our Maples and Calder Middle East office based in Dubai, commemorating two decades since becoming the first offshore law firm to establish a presence in the region. From a two-person team to a market-leading platform of over 60 professionals, this growth reflects the strength of our fully integrated legal, fund and fiduciary services, and our long-standing commitment to clients across the Middle East and beyond. Over the years, our Dubai office has played a pivotal role in advising on landmark fund launches, capital markets issuances, and strategic M&A transactions. We've delivered governance and administration solutions to some of the region’s most innovative structures and supported sovereigns, institutions, asset managers, family offices, and high-growth companies with practical, responsive service. Notably, we have been instrumental in developing Cayman Islands-based Shariah-compliant investment structures, which have become the market standard, and have actively participated in the growth of the aviation sector in the region, supporting complex financing and leasing transactions for leading industry players. As we look ahead, we remain committed to service with excellence, investing in talent, technology and innovation to meet evolving client needs across asset classes, sectors, and geographies. This milestone also coincides with the Maples Group’s 30th Anniversary in Asia and precedes our 20-year anniversary in Ireland next year — a testament to our global reach and dedication to key financial centres. Thank you to our clients, colleagues, and partners for being part of this journey. Here’s to the next 20 years! #MaplesGroup #DubaiAnniversary #FinancialServices #LegalServices #FundServices #FiduciaryServices #MiddleEast #GlobalReach #ClientCommitment
