Family Governance, Estate & Trust Planning

We understand the natural tendency for wealth to be dissipated after three generations unless a structure and a process are put in place to preserve it.

Families with concerns about wealth dissipation need the same disciplines and formalities as are required for corporate structures. These form what has become known as family governance. A dynastic governance estate must display best practice in both family and corporate governance to ensure the continued good reputation of the family and the success of the business.

We are a leader in the field of family governance and trust planning. We understand the important cultural issues in the jurisdictions in which we work and have a depth and breadth of experience which enables us to recognise and avoid situations where family conflict can lead to wealth dissipation.

Our experienced team tries to ensure that a fine balance is maintained between the business goals, professional aspirations and needs of family members by providing the most sophisticated and bespoke wealth solutions available and employ the most up to date legal and commercial thinking.
