We understand that families are the most complex organisations in the world, and that family offices – operating at the intersection of the worlds of both family and business - face a unique set of challenges.
Today’s family office can secure a family’s legacy in new ways, building a family’s wealth and upholding its values across countries and generations. As sophisticated investment vehicles, they are at the heart of a family’s wealth, with the ability to invest capital into a variety of asset classes such as venture, private equity or real estate.
However, we also recognise that the concerns of our family office clients go far beyond wealth preservation: family life issues, reputation, their home, the things they love, their hopes for the next generation, investing in innovation, or their philanthropic legacy can be far more important. Our business is protecting them, their interests and the things that matter most to them.
We consider their needs holistically, identifying and dealing with any issues they might face, using our ecosystem of diverse capabilities (both legal and non-legal) which, when combined, help protect a family office guarding the family against the challenges that face generational wealth. Our network of professionals range from strategic communications advisors to educational consultants, psychologists and therapists.
Our international footprint spans London, Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong. This not only locates us in many of the key centres of wealth, but also enables us to provide the global perspective and advice that international families require.
We fiercely guard our clients’ interests, appreciating the privilege of sitting alongside them as a confidante and trusted advisor. Our strength and experience in Dispute Resolution enables us to identify potential vulnerabilities, proactively devising strategies for mitigating against them in the long term, and adeptly handling crises when necessary.
