Melina Howard | Lexfield

View biography

When working for a private bank, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Canadian companies and intermediaries for worldwide clients with local interests.

More recently, through LexField an independent Luxembourg law firm and FideField a corporate services provider, as well thought out networks such as the Canada-Europe Economic Chamber, my connections with Canada grew stronger. This growth was thanks to local contacts needing advice and assistance to develop their businesses in Europe and more specifically those wishing to use Luxembourg as a platform for their investments across Europe
