On Wednesday 20 November 2024, Luxembourg-based Arendt Investor Services held a press conference ahead of its fifteenth anniversary celebration at its offices in Luxembourg-Hamm.

The event served as an opportunity for a small group of journalists to engage with the firm’s leadership and members of the management committee, who discussed achievements to date and recent developments.

Partner and Chairman Claude Niedner opened the press conference by giving an overview of the company that was established in 2009, following the financial crisis. From an initial team of six, it now employs 300 members of staff. The company, the investor service branch of law firm Arendt, has since developed affiliated service companies that offer legal, regulatory and taxation advice to clients. Mr Niedner briefly discussed these companies, which include Arendt Institute, Arendt Regulatory and Consulting, and AManco, prior to short presentations on each by the management team.

Arendt Investor Services CEO Christian Heinen outlined the five service lines the firm provides: company services, tax compliance services, governance services, fund administration services, and operations compliance.

A short presentation from seven members of the various management teams followed. Each manager outlined the role their service provides within Arendt Investor Services.

The overriding theme was of providing a “one stop shop” service for clients to ensure compliance with regulations across all sectors. Clients can engage with as many or as few of the services provided by the company as required.  The company’s multilingual employees can also provide services for a range of national and multinational clients, regardless of size.

The company reported it aims to be a reliable point of contact, identifying clients’ areas of need and ensuring compliance in the aforementioned areas.

Following the press conference, a celebratory evening for staff and clients took place at Arendt House Luxembourg-Kirchberg.

Earlier this year, Arendt Services rebranded itself as Arendt Investor Services, reportedly to reflect the company’s evolution over the past fifteen years.
