CICS, LLC

Company Overview

CICS was established in 2003 to provide independent directors and officers for offshore funds and conduit entities. As a result of its quality service and its appeal to the price sensitive client, CICS has grown substantially since its inception and has earned an excellent reputation within the industry.

Since 2003, CICS has expanded its services to include independent directors, independent managers, springing members, and trustees for all special purpose vehicles used in structured finance, real estate, credit, and securitization transactions. Furthermore, CICS also holds “orphans” (equity) for a number of special situations. Other services include LLC formations and dissolutions.

In 2008, CICS-Dissolutions, LLC was established as an indirect subsidiary in order to purchase dormant Delaware and Cayman Island entities from Morgan Stanley. These entities are then subsequently dissolved shortly after their transfer as directed by the client.

Melissa Stark is the Principal of CICS. Ms. Stark and her supporting staff are capable of understanding the intricacies of today’s financial market products based upon extensive backgrounds in analytical, accounting, managerial, advisory, tax and legal expertise. As such, CICS provides strong candidates that work efficiently and effectively on the external needs required by financial and legal institutions.

The professionals at CICS have provided me with outstanding quality of service on all of my corporate staffing needs. I am especially impressed by their ability to quickly comprehend even our most complicated structures. It is also an enormous relief to know that they are ready and willing to respond to time-sensitive requests on short notice. Furthermore, the pricing offered by CICS for its services has been significantly better than its competitors while still offering superior quality of service. I always look forward to an opportunity to recommend CICS to our clients.
