Services

We listen to your family’s unique story and craft personalised strategies and frameworks, ensuring that your family flourishes now and for generations to come.

Family Governance

We specialise in developing bespoke governance frameworks, such as family constitutions, that reflect the unique values and needs of your family. These frameworks are designed to be flexible, allowing them to evolve as your family grows and its needs change over time. Crucially, we ensure that these frameworks are translated into actionable strategies and legally binding agreements at both the family and business level. Our focus on seamless implementation and communication guarantees that your governance structures remain effective and relevant.

Family Office Development

Our approach to Family Office development goes beyond traditional wealth management. We work closely with you to define and shape a Family Office that integrates seamlessly with your broader family governance structure. While investment management may play a role, we understand that for many families, the true value of a Family Office lies in its ability to preserve family unity, values, and legacy. We develop, enhance, and continually review Family Office solutions to support your family’s long-term vision and strategic objectives.

Workshops and Training Programs

We offer comprehensive workshops and training programs designed to engage family members across multiple generations and to foster inter-generational dialogue. These sessions help family members understand their roles within the family governance framework, strengthening collaboration and shared responsibility. Additionally, where appropriate, we can extend these programs to include Family Office team members.
