Family advisory

Building a family legacy for generations

You could still lead the company for years. That’s the perfect time to create a succession plan.

Thriving as a wealthy family means addressing important questions, like:

What’s the purpose of your wealth? How do we pass on family values? How does our family ensure a successful generational transition? Is the next generation ready? How can we best manage joint family assets? Should we set up single family or multi-family office? Our team of experts helps individuals and families develop a tailored strategy and implementation plan to successfully manage their wealth and family affairs for the long term.

Our family advisory services

We offer a structured approach from advisory to execution services.

Family governance

We guide you in developing a strategy for you and your family and support you in designing and implementing your bespoke family governance system, including a family constitution, family council and other decision-making governance forums. We do so through a series of thematic workshops or facilitating family meetings.
