Family Office Services

Building secure family legacies.

Solving the multifaceted issues confronting family offices requires experience, creativity, and ingenuity. The hallmark of our work is the successful mediation, settlement, and disposition of legal proceedings favorable to our clients. 

Individuals and families with accumulated wealth often decide to form a private organization—known as a “family office”—to manage investments, trusts, and financial and legal services. Whatever the form, a family office faces unique, challenging issues. Our team of attorneys has a wealth of longstanding experience assisting individuals and families who wish to establish and administer family offices or other similar structures.

Clients benefit from our attorneys’ deep and broad experience in creating, structuring, modifying, and administering trusts, estates, and family offices. We assist with personal matters for family members, federal and state income tax and estate planning strategies, liability protection, entity creation, state and federal securities, and accounting compliance issues. We regularly help clients analyze succession issues and solve complicated legal challenges in order to enable families to achieve the goals of their family office.

We collaborate with family members and family office advisors who need support in a variety of different disciplines, including:

Estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax planning
Income tax planning
State and local tax planning
Trust management, review, and advisory services
Dispute resolution services, including experienced litigation support

Entity and asset pooling for investment purposes
State and federal securities regulatory compliance for family offices
International family office administration
Private trust company formation and advice
Fiduciary accounting and systems issues

International Planning

Family offices are becoming more international as families grow and invest globally. Many family offices that operate across borders leverage diverse experience and investment opportunities. We offer advanced U.S. tax planning for any non-U.S. family contemplating a U.S. family office branch. We regularly advise U.S. citizens with nonresident beneficiaries or foreign assets, as well as foreign nationals with U.S. beneficiaries or U.S. assets, on their wealth transfer and tax structuring matters. We have assisted clients in Asia, Australia, Europe, South America, and various other jurisdictions. We affiliate with accounting and law firms through various networks to handle the planning needs of global high-net-worth families.
