Our Family Offices & HNWI Focus

As an independent law firm, our Family Offices and High-Net-Worth Individuals focus is on independent legal and tax advice on all aspects of designing, implementing and running a family office or any of its components. We advise on appropriate vehicles for the acquisition and holding of all asset classes.  We ensure legal, regulatory, tax and financial compliance of all family offices vehicles and provide guidance to internal staff and other external advisors on compliance in family office matters.

We do not provide financial advice or wealth management services. Such services are often entrusted with best of breed asset managers, wealth managers, private banks, investment advisors and custodians and we are able to help shortlist and set the relative parameters in accordance with any applicable trust instruments or the Family Charter.
