Family Structures
Having been involved in several Family matters over the years, we have developed a unique know-how in this area, and we are fully aware of what it takes to have a tailored structuring of family assets, attuned to our client’s needs.
Our team designs, set up, and provide tailored advices in the running of Family Offices or structures in order to protect and prepare the transmission and assure the sustainability of the Family assets.
We can provide support services to Family Offices, investment offices, or Family entities holding or managing special assets (yachts, works of Art, real estate, or various legacy assets …).
In conjunction with this practice, we help our clients to leverage the unique strengths of Family-owned businesses, and to manage their specific challenges. We are able to combine our broad range of corporate legal solutions with an understanding of Family governance and dispute resolution that is unrivalled in the region.
