M/HQ ranked top for private wealth management in Chambers Global 2025 Guide

Yann Mrazek and Kath Zagatti ranked among top individual advisors in the UAE

25 July 2025, Dubai, UAE: M/HQ, the UAE’s leading private wealth optimization platform, has been recognized for its private wealth management capability in the UAE by the leading independent legal directory Chambers Global for the second consecutive year.

Beyond M/HQ’s firm ranking in Chambers’ High Net Worth Guide 2025 for Private Wealth Law, the firm’s Founder and Managing Partner, Yann Mrazek is once again ranked as a leading individual [Band 1], marking his eighth consecutive year of recognition. This year also sees the addition of Kath Zagatti, Lead Partner – Legacy & Family Office, to the rankings – a reflection of her significant contribution to the firm’s advisory work with cross-border families and legacy structures.

Headquartered in the UAE since 2009, M/HQ works closely with successful individuals and international families (Muslim and non-Muslim) implementing intergenerational wealth transfer strategies. The firm helps them structure their operational and high-value assets and global wealth through Single- and Multi-Family Offices, Family- and Group-Holdings, Foundations, and other asset consolidation/protection and legacy structures – emphasizing local solutions.

As the UAE continuously evolves as a leading global hub for private wealth, M/HQ continues to dominate the market in the field of foundations, an increasingly popular tool that has reshaped the UAE’s family wealth management landscape. Renowned for its pivotal pioneering role in the creation of foundations and innovative structures such as the first-ever Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Purpose Foundation (the primary function of which is to act as a Trustee of the DIFC Trust), the firm holds a 24% market share of all CSP-managed foundations across the UAE. Clients comment that, “M/HQ provided very robust and practical solutions on how best to manage the group and gave efficient structures to meet our future needs.”

Clients also praise Yann and Kath for being ‘great to work with, they are enterprising and able to come up with inspired solutions for our problems. They also maintain a good standard for advice and understands what solution best fits us.’

Yann Mrazek, Founder and Managing Partner of M/HQ said: “We are proud that M/HQ has once again been recognised by Chambers Global as a leading private wealth firm in the UAE. This milestone reflects the continued trust of our clients and our commitment to delivering tailored, enduring solutions. The UAE has emerged as one of the world’s most compelling hubs for private wealth — welcoming global families while strengthening those already rooted here. As the Gulf region prepares for an unprecedented transfer of wealth to the next generation, the UAE remains at the centre of global family wealth conversations – and we are honored to play an active role in that transition.”

Kath Zagatti, Lead Partner – Legacy & Family Office at M/HQ said: “It’s an honour to be recognized as a leading individual in this year’s Chambers rankings. As increasing numbers of high-net-worth individuals continue to relocate to the UAE, we are seeing a growing demand for robust, future-ready legacy structures. Our role is to help local and international families navigate this transition thoughtfully — with clarity, purpose and practical solutions that reflect their long-term vision.”
