Founded in 1980, Whitehall began advising business owners about various legal structures available to them that would reduce taxes and preserve their wealth. In 1984, Whitehall opened an office in Geneva, Switzerland. After several years of delivering financial services to European clients, Whitehall became a partner in Societe Financiere de Distribution, a Swiss private bank.

​

The addition of Swiss private banking services allowed Whitehall to incorporate corporate financing into its services. Reflecting the increasingly multi-jurisdictional nature of our business, Whitehall opened an office in Hong Kong and began providing services in China.
