Redefining Family Office
Your family is unlike any other that my team and I have served. We value the uniqueness of each client and dedicate time to building strong relationships in order to fully understand each family's unique needs. We also recognize that many families experience similar questions, challenges, and opportunities. Our combined 70+ years of experience aids us in guiding clients through the process of achieving their most important life goals, even those that may be beyond the traditional role of wealth managers.
Family Governance and Education
Too often, members of rising generations spend decades in silence. Developing a mechanism such as a family mission statement, a family constitution, or an investment policy statement can offer critical parameters and guidelines to make decisions as a collective. We work with you to define your own generation, with your own voice.
Fact SheetTrust and Estate Planning and Business Succession
The key to determining which trust, tax, and estate strategies to execute is to understand the interplay of personal and exogenous factors. Liquidity events such as an initial public offering or a merger or acquisition may provide income and estate planning opportunities. Liquidity events also magnify the need to put in place or update certain essential estate planning documents.
Pre-Liquidity Event Planning OverviewLifestyle Services
One of the most powerful benefits of a family office is the ability to help family members simplify their personal lives and enjoy their wealth. We provide bespoke solutions and access to knowledgeable, highly personal specialists to help meet your exceptional needs, from the everyday to the extraordinary, such as: travel and concierge services, health and security advisory, tangible asset management, personal enrichment, and financial administration.
Signature Access Lifestyle AdvisoryPhilanthropic Advisory
Believing that philanthropy must be more than checkbook writing, involved and engaged donors want to feel a connection and offer advice and input above and beyond money. Perhaps you want to use philanthropy to instill values in your children, or you want to apply your business acumen to philanthropy. Maybe it is the grassroots-type of organizations that inspire you. Holding philanthropic conversations with our team and your family to discuss values, motivations, visions and to develop a mission statement is an effective step towards achieving long term philanthropic engagement. Deciding on the level of visibility, the type of program to support, and length of involvement, are your matters that matter to us.
