About us
The Octopus and Rampart Corporate Services fiduciary practices came together in Resilience Group on 1 July 2026. Ramparts' law firm remains separate and provides legal advice under its own engagement.
On 1 July 2026, Octopus International Business Services and the fiduciary practice of Rampart Corporate Services came together within Resilience Group, bringing company services, trustee and foundation work, and fund administration into a coordinated group. Ramparts' separate law practice is not part of Resilience and continues to provide legal advice independently.
Why we merged
Three things made the case for combining the Octopus and Rampart Corporate Services fiduciary practices within one group. The relevant licensed entity remains responsible for each regulated service.
Gibraltar is a small jurisdiction. Two mid-sized fiduciary practices, each carrying its own back-office, compliance overhead, and senior succession risk, were doing the same work twice. A single firm has the depth to take on larger mandates, weather staff changes, and invest properly in systems — without losing the boutique discipline that brought clients to either firm in the first place.
Most international clients need more than one administrative service: a Gibraltar company plus a trustee, a fund vehicle plus its administrator, or a foundation plus its accountants. The fiduciary practices can coordinate those mandates within the group. Legal advice, if required, is provided separately by Ramparts or the client's chosen law firm.
Group-wide coordination supports consistent oversight, risk controls and client service. Each regulated entity retains its own permissions and responsibilities; the engagement terms identify the provider for each mandate. The separate law practice remains responsible for its own legal services.

How we work
Mandates are run by the people whose names are on the engagement letter — not delegated down a chain. Trustee and director appointments are taken with the same care as our own: real meetings, real minutes, real consideration of each decision on its merits. Gibraltar regulation expects substance; we treat it as a floor, not a ceiling.
Our clients are private people, private companies, and private funds — and they expect that to remain the case. We keep our own counsel about who we act for, what we do for them, and what we know about their affairs. Where we publish or speak, we do so on our own behalf, not on theirs.
If a structure cannot be explained to a thoughtful client in a few clear sentences, it is usually the wrong structure. Our work product — engagement letters, governance papers, regulatory submissions — favours plain language over jargon, and the actual question over a hedged one. Clients and their advisers can read what we have done without needing a translation.
To discuss a mandate, sense-check a structure, or find out whether Resilience Group is suitable for your requirements, contact us directly. Initial conversations are confidential and without obligation.
