Along with successful business and wealth comes a multitude of responsibilities and challenges, including important and often sensitive topics like evolving family investment strategies, regularly changing tax regimes, sophisticated governance of family affairs, succession planning, and many others.

Our clients include high net-worth individuals and families, as well as family offices, whom we support with all legal and tax aspects of the structuring, planning, management, and transfer of their businesses and private wealth – from day-to-day matters and investment transactions to succession planning and philanthropic activities.
