Family Offices

The increasingly complex needs of multi-jurisdictional and multi-generational families are now often being managed by family offices established in the UK and elsewhere around the world. The decision to manage wealth through a family office raises many issues, including deciding how to structure the ownership, defining the scope of services and considering the related tax and regulatory issues in each relevant jurisdiction.

Our approach is practical, solutions-oriented and innovative and we can offer a single point of contact for all legal needs, both domestic and international.

Our services include:

  • establishment of family offices;
  • governance and regulatory advice;
  • tax planning;
  • investment funds and investment management;
  • alignment and incentivisation;
  • succession planning;
  • philanthropy;
  • dispute resolution;
  • business transactions;
  • asset protection;
  • employment advice; and
  • immigration advice.
