Antish Maroam is recognised as a leading tax structuring lawyer in Mauritius, combining dual legal qualification with a strong accountancy background to advise multinational groups, financial institutions, and high-net-worth individuals on complex cross-border tax and corporate matters. As the Founding and Managing Partner of Spencer West’s Mauritius office, he leads a multidisciplinary team that specialises in international tax structuring, dispute resolution, private wealth, and financial services work for domestic and international clients. His practice is anchored in rigorous technical expertise and pragmatic commercial insight.
Antish holds an LLB (Hons) from the University of Westminster where he studied on a Full International Scholarship and completed an LLM in Tax Law at Queen Mary, University of London with distinction under a Chevening Scholarship. He is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (FCCA/ACCA), holds the Advance Diploma in International Taxation (ADIT), and is a barrister called to the Bar of England & Wales and Mauritius. These combined legal and technical tax qualifications underpin his specialist capability in international tax structuring, transactional, and cross-border advisory work.
Before establishing Spencer West’s Mauritius office, Antish developed his professional experience across advisory and in-house roles with internationally recognised organisations, including PwC Mauritius, the World Bank Group and Eversheds Sutherland. He has also served in senior roles at corporate services firms and was previously a partner at Celerity Chambers, giving him practical exposure to governance, regulatory and fiduciary issues affecting international vehicles and funds. In 2025 he was appointed to lead Spencer West’s Mauritius launch, formalising his position as a market leader in tax structuring and private wealth advisory.
Antish’s practice centres on tax structuring and tax dispute resolution, with complementary capabilities in corporate & commercial work, mergers & acquisitions, private wealth, financial services and insolvency. He routinely advises on the tax implications of cross-border restructurings, treaty interpretation and substance requirements, the design of midshore/offshore holding and fund structures, and succession planning for high-net-worth families. His accountancy background allows him to bridge tax, corporate and transactional considerations efficiently, positioning him as a pragmatic tax structuring lawyer in Mauritius for clients seeking integrated legal and tax solutions.
While Antish’s client work spans confidential restructurings and bespoke private wealth mandates, his public profile also includes authored insights and participation in sector events focused on Mauritius’ evolving international tax rules. He has been invited to speak on the practical implications of Mauritius’ Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (QDMTT) and related Pillar Two developments, contributing to panels that unpack the regime for businesses and advisors. These engagements reflect his active role in shaping practitioner discussion around the most important tax structuring and compliance challenges facing the jurisdiction.
Antish adopts a client-focused, commercially minded approach that emphasises clarity, risk mitigation and practical implementability. He works closely with in-house tax teams, trustees, accountants and international counsel to advise on structures that align with treaty positions, substance requirements and commercial objectives. His combined training as a barrister and accountant gives him a particular edge in tax controversy work where technical tax issues meet litigation or administrative review.
The Mauritian tax landscape has undergone significant reforms in recent years, including the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (QDMTT) to align domestic rules with the OECD’s Pillar Two global minimum tax framework and wider changes to incentives and compliance obligations. These reforms increase the focus on effective tax rates, treaty usage, substance, and reporting obligations for resident entities that form part of multinational groups. For businesses and individuals using Mauritius as an international structuring or fund jurisdiction, specialist tax structuring expertise is essential to navigate notification obligations, compliance timelines and the interplay between local law and international minimum tax rules.
Antish advises a broad client base that includes multinationals operating across Africa and Asia, fund managers, international financial institutions, family offices and high-net-worth individuals. His practice is particularly relevant for clients undertaking cross-border restructurings, regional expansions, intra-group financing arrangements, fund establishment, international holding structures, or succession and estate planning that must satisfy both commercial and compliance objectives. As a tax structuring lawyer in Mauritius, he combines local legal authority with international tax technical depth to deliver pragmatic solutions for stakeholders.
Specialist legal advice is increasingly important in Mauritius where domestic reforms and the international minimum tax regime create complex structuring and compliance considerations. Lawyers with both technical tax qualifications and transactional experience, like Antish, are able to assess proposed structures, advise on treaty interpretations and substance requirements, and coordinate multi-jurisdictional solutions designed to reduce the risk of disputes and unforeseen exposures. For businesses and individuals evaluating tax-sensitive structures in Mauritius, that blend of litigation-aware advocacy and technical tax competence provides a strong foundation for informed decision-making.
