The Hotel AKA Brickell recently played host to a cocktail party held by one of the world’s leading international Family Offices, Stonehage Fleming.
The event was staged to celebrate the opening of Stonehage Fleming’s new office in Florida.

“Being here represents a fantastic opportunity. Miami is the undisputed gateway to Latin America and we are so excited to be able to offer a local presence that meets the needs of this important and growing segment of our client base.”
Stonehage Fleming’s office is located in the Brickell Avenue Financial District. Lowry Brescia has been appointed to the position of Client Relationship Manager and heads the Group’s Representative Office in Miami.

These unique set of circumstances have led to a sustained and growing demand for expert advice on a multi-jurisdictional level.”
