Latitude strengthens its integrated advisory offering: Vertex Alliance joins the group

Latitude has announced that Vertex Alliance is joining its global advisory platform. The move marks an important step in the company’s strategic development and further strengthens an expertise base anchored in Malta.

The decision reflects a deliberate alignment of capabilities, shared values, and a long-term vision for the benefit of clients, partners, and institutions. The integration is designed to establish a unified approach to supporting advisory projects and to enhance overall delivery quality.

Vertex Alliance’s team has joined Latitude Group and is building its advisory work within the group’s shared strategic framework. At the same time, regulated services will continue to be delivered through existing licensed entities—until all required regulatory approvals are obtained.

Responding to a more complex advisory landscape

The integration reflects a broader trend taking shape across investment migration and global mobility. Client needs are becoming more complex, more sensitive, and increasingly long-term in nature.

An expanding number of globally mobile individuals—entrepreneurs, investors, and exceptional talent—are seeking advisory support that goes far beyond one-off residency or citizenship programme execution.

Meanwhile, jurisdictions’ approaches are also evolving, including Malta. In particular, areas related to citizenship by merit and national interest projects are gaining momentum. These routes are not “programme-based” in the traditional sense: they require deeper consultant involvement, a senior-led role, and coordination across multiple disciplines—from structuring and compliance to engagement with institutions and long-term planning.

Against this backdrop, Latitude’s expanded platform is focused on delivering fully integrated, senior-led support—rather than a transactional or “programme” model.

Expanded platform: integrated, end-to-end advisory “under one roof”

By bringing Vertex Alliance expertise into the group, Latitude is creating a broader internal advisory capability. The expansion is being implemented in line with current regulatory requirements and licensing obligations, with part of the services remaining subject to regulatory approval processes.

In addition to residency and citizenship planning, the service offering includes international and cross-border tax structuring, advice on real estate and business, support for operating in Malta, as well as assistance across lifestyle, education, and family matters.

The integrated model is designed to ensure consistency, confidentiality, and accountability—qualities that are especially important for clients undertaking multi-jurisdiction planning, long-term relocation strategies, or projects involving participation in initiatives with public institutions.

Latitude also notes that Vertex strengthens the depth of its advisory capabilities and supports the company’s long-term vision.

“Vertex joining Latitude strengthens our advisory expertise and reinforces our commitment to being a trusted independent platform for clients, partners, and institutions that value experience, confidentiality, and delivery quality more than scale,” commented Eric Major, CEO of Latitude Group.

Strengthening Malta’s role as an advisory hub

The integration further underscores Malta’s rising importance as a strategic advisory hub. As the country increases its attractiveness for foreign talent, entrepreneurs, and individuals with exceptional merit, advisory work increasingly requires coordination at the institutional level and more sophisticated execution.

Latitude’s expanded Malta-based platform is built to meet these needs—subject to completion of the relevant regulatory procedures.

While Latitude was developing a strong direct client business internationally, Vertex Alliance built deep relationships with professional firms and institutional partners, particularly in Asia, India, and the Middle East.

Together, these channels enable Latitude to serve both private clients and intermediaries more effectively, delivering greater depth and a more consistent approach.

Governance and strengthening institutional ties

As part of the integration, Kenneth Camilleri has also joined the Board of Directors of Latitude Group and the senior management team as Chief Strategic Partnerships. The appointment strengthens the group’s institutional connections and long-term partnership strategy.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Camilleri highlighted the alignment of both organizations’ philosophies.

“I was drawn to Latitude by our shared belief that advisory excellence is created by people, relationships, and long-term thinking. Now clients and partners receive a broader and deeper support platform within one structure,” he said.

Latitude confirms that the integration process is already underway: clients and partners are being advised through a coordinated platform, while regulated lines of service will continue to be delivered through existing licences—until the necessary approvals are in place.

Growth without “scale for the sake of scale”

Latitude’s leadership emphasises that expansion is not an end in itself. The priority is the depth of expertise, execution quality, and sustainable long-term relationships.

“When we ask clients why they choose Latitude, the answer is rarely about size. They are not looking for the biggest company with the most offices or employees. They need a flexible boutique organisation with a senior-led approach, where the advice is personal, the delivery is precise, and access to leadership is direct,” explained Ryan Darmanin, Group COO of Latitude.

“Our clients expect a personalised service delivered by experienced advisors and that accounts for the full complexity of their situation. That expectation shapes how we grow, how we structure the company, and how we work with clients every day.”

As a result, Latitude positions itself not as the largest player in the sector, but as one of the most experienced and trusted organisations. This approach resonates with government bodies, institutional partners, and demanding private clients.

As the global mobility landscape continues to evolve, advisory platforms with institutional experience and integrated delivery are likely to play an increasingly prominent role.

Latitude’s expanded platform reflects this shift and helps the company support clients, partners, and public institutions in a more complex and selective global environment.

Regulated corporate services are provided by Vertex Consulting Ltd, which is authorised and regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority.
