Family Office

Family Office is much more than just services provided by a family lawyer

When your family wealth reaches a particular level, you may find yourself in need of a good family office which can manage all your assets and affairs effectively. Our company specialises in providing a range of tailor-made solutions to families to suit their varied needs. Such solutions are delivered by highly qualified specialists in finance, taxation, investment, law and other areas of expertise.

Our family office is a private wealth management service aimed at those who value their time and are ready to delegate most of their own responsibilities and the responsibilities of the entities affiliated to them to one consolidated office.
It means that you no longer need to spend extra hours and money on creating a flexible, efficient and reliable business unit to handle your challenges and meet your growing needs.
Our clients know how much energy and time is required to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously. Imagine having to monitor securities on the Eurobond market, lease out commercial property, look for a buyer for the yacht, plan a family holiday, take part in a trade fair and attend court sessions all at the same time! Not to mention the financial aspect of it all…
Trust is the foundation on which our family office is based. Sometimes it takes years to build this foundation, but it is worth it. Have no doubts about that. The decision to entrust the handling of serious issues to others coupled with confidence in the results will bring you the desired peace of mind and the feeling of balance.
The clients who work with us are well aware that business capital and family wealth have different risk tolerance levels.
The long-standing experience we have in running the family office service shows that family members and our employees tend to develop strong business relationships over time. The family office eventually becomes a trusted advisor (manager) for the entire family. This is because we not only take care of the asset management issues but we are also involved in many investment-related and other family decisions and projects. In essence, we function as a family holding company for reasonable remuneration. The role of the authorised manager (advisor) is performed by a team consisting of financial specialists, secretaries, accountants, real property experts, lawyers, personal security specialists, household staff, etc.

Absolute confidentiality, competence and responsibility in making decisions as well as fully transparent relationships with clients are the fundamental principles of our work. You will have peace of mind knowing that your home office is run by honest, competent and reliable professionals.
