MDR Mayfair was previously called Mayfair Private. Already, offices under that brand have opened in London and Dubai.

International law firm Mishcon de Reya has set up a wholly-owned subsidiary of its private advisory business in Singapore, called MDR Mayfair.

The organisation, which was previously called Mayfair Private, will be led by Simon Michaels, a wealth planning practitioner in Singapore. Like its counterparts in London and Dubai, it will offer private advisory services to high net worth families in the region. 

Mischcon de Reya said the Singapore business was renamed to bring it in line with the other MDR Group companies MDR Cyber, MDR Brand Management and MDR Discover.

MDR Mayfair Singapore will offer private advisory services to HNW clients based in South East Asia. The business creates bespoke solutions for its clients – advising families on matters such as succession planning, family governance, international structuring and asset protection. 

MDR Mayfair was launched in London in 2014 and Dubai in 2017.

The new Singapore business head was previously a partner at Withers Worldwide; Michaels is also a dual qualified English barrister and solicitor who has been based in Singapore for over ten years.
