Professional Staff
Zetland staff are experienced professionals including qualified lawyers, accountants, corporate financiers and company administrators. Brief details of key managers are to be found on our website. English is Zetland’s main operating language but staff have fluency in Chinese (Cantonese, Mandarin), Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Tagalog and Polish.
Cooperation
Zetland receives business referrals from professionals – lawyers, accountants, bankers and financiers globally. Zetland believes in working closely with a client’s advisers and does not itself attempt to give advice of a domestic nature on topics such as tax or asset protection; this should always be sought in a client’s jurisdiction of residence/citizenship and domicile.
Our Logo
The Zetland logo is based on the Shetland flag that in turn is a blend of the distinctive Nordic and St. Andrew’s crosses. The Scottish tradition remains strong in Hong Kong with many bankers, businessmen and professionals from Scotland having contributed to the growth and development of the Special Administrative Region.
