We work with family offices, providing straightforward legal advice to help them manage their clients' wealth, businesses, lifestyles and the education and futures of their families.
Family offices and the private banks and wealth advisers that work with them need wide-ranging advice to help them support their clients. This may include advice on acquiring a family home in the UK, applying for visas, buying art and luxury assets and, of course, deciding how best to structure the family's wealth round the world.
Our lawyers are used to working with family offices around the world, we provide the intrinsic legal support and on the ground advice to compliment the family office governance. We can advise on UK tax and the increasing level of regulation that applies to wealthy individuals and their structures. We can advise on UK immigration for individuals, families and, often, their staff members. We can setup efficient UK and offshore trust and corporate structures, as well as family governance and succession planning strategies to preserve a family's wealth and business for future generations.
