    About Astons

    Editorial summary

    Astons is an investment-migration and relocation consultancy operated through ASTONS MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCIES EST in Dubai. Current first-party materials publish seven exact office contacts, a 20+ expert team and multiple programme and licence claims. The directory reports branch-specific Google and domain-wide Trustpilot aggregates separately and does not classify advisers as lawyers without regulator evidence.

    Astons is an investment-migration and relocation consultancy founded in London in 1989 and currently operated through ASTONS MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCIES EST in Dubai. Its official materials describe support with residence and citizenship programmes, property and fund investment, document preparation, application submission and selected relocation services. The company currently publishes seven office contacts across Dubai, Glyfada, Istanbul, Limassol, London, Fort Lauderdale and Cascais. It reports a team of 20+ experts and more than 15 programmes. These are first-party company claims, not independent performance measures. Astons should be assessed as a consultancy rather than a regulated law firm. Its team includes legal and processing personnel, but adviser pages are not listed as lawyers here unless a named individual can be matched to a public regulator record. The firm’s published Athens Bar certificate is redacted and cannot be assigned to a specific adviser. Review data is kept source-specific: Google reflects the Dubai branch listing, while Trustpilot reflects the astons.com domain profile. Prospective clients should confirm which Astons entity will contract with them, who will perform regulated legal work, the applicable licence or professional registration, and the full fee and refund terms before proceeding.

    Frequently Asked Questions about Astons

    Is Astons a law firm?

    The current privacy policy identifies the website operator as ASTONS MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCIES EST, a Dubai management-consultancy establishment. Astons advertises investment-migration, relocation and some legal support, and publishes evidence relating to an Athens Bar member. That does not make every Astons office or adviser a law firm or lawyer; confirm the responsible regulated entity for the specific matter.

    Where does Astons have offices?

    The current website supplies seven exact office contacts: Dubai, Glyfada, Istanbul, Limassol, London, Fort Lauderdale and Cascais. Separate introductory copy also names Malta, but no current Malta address appears in the visible office cards or footer, so the directory does not publish one as current.

    What services does Astons advertise?

    Current first-party pages cover residence and citizenship programme planning, property and fund investment coordination, document preparation, submission management and relocation support across multiple jurisdictions. Programme availability, the submitting agent, regulated legal work and fees should be confirmed for the client's circumstances.

    Who leads legal work at Astons?

    Astons currently presents Renata Artemenko as Head of Legal and calls her an immigration lawyer. The checked sources did not establish her jurisdiction of admission or regulator record, so she is not yet published as a verified lawyer in the Counsel Directory. Astons also publishes an Athens Bar certificate whose member name is redacted.

    Is Alena Lesina a lawyer at Astons?

    Astons' current profile describes Alena Lesina as Senior Citizenship & Residency Advisor and Head of its U.S. office, not as a lawyer.

    How should Astons' ratings be interpreted?

    On 24 August 2026 Sydney time, the exact Dubai Google listing showed 5.0/5 from 15 reviews and the exact astons.com Trustpilot profile showed 4.0/5 from four reviews. The Trustpilot profile still displays a historical London contact and says there is no recent history of asking for reviews. The platforms are not combined and neither score is a verified success rate.

    Does Astons guarantee an approval or a risk-free application?

    Eligibility, due diligence, government decisions, investment performance and timing depend on the programme and applicant. Prospective clients should ask for a written scope identifying the responsible entity, regulated adviser, fees, risks and refund terms.
