Private Investment Offices
We act for all manner of Private Investment Offices from the single family office with a heavy interest in real estate, the single manager leaving a successful private equity or hedge fund looking to set up his or her own Private Investment Office to the successful family business looking to set up a Private Investment Office following a sale of a business and as part of a wealth preservation and diversification strategy.
We speak and write regularly on family business and family and private office issues.
We can advise on the appropriate structure and establishment to meet founder needs and those of investors should the Private Investment Office seek to manage third party money.
We advise on M&A, joint ventures, private equity deals and outsourcing.
