The needs of high-net-worth individuals often present unique challenges, spanning both personal- and business-related matters and involving complex issues across multiple jurisdictions. Our member firms offer comprehensive expertise across the spectrum of legal, tax and commercial advisory needs for private clients, including on cross-border successions.
Our clients include high-net-worth and ultra high-net-worth individuals and families, as well as single or multi-family offices, private foundations, and family trusts from across Europe and around the globe.
We regularly advise on issues such as estate and succession planning, inheritance involving wealth and business transfers, family business structuring and governance, wills and powers of attorney, asset structuring, retirement planning, and cross-border tax structuring and optimization, among others. For foundations and trusts, we offer significant expertise on issues such as formation and structuring, governance, tax and regulatory oversight.
More widely, we are able to bring to bear other relevant areas of expertise across our member firms should more technical advice be required. For example, our leading specialists in areas such as fine art, family-owned businesses, and white collar crime offer valuable resources and perspective for private clients.
We also offer a proven and respected team of litigators, arbitrators and mediators in the event of disputes, whose primary objective is to seek the best outcome for clients – and often not involving the courts at all.
