Preserving what matters – shaping the future

Are you looking not only to preserve your family’s assets, but to actively shape them – responsibly and with future generations in mind? Are you investing in real estate, looking into company holdings or considering your options when it comes to funds? Maybe you’re interested in crypto assets or art investments.

Whether you make decisions as a family or through a family office, the demands of structuring and managing assets have never been more complex. Regulatory frameworks, tax consequences and special legal features require bespoke advice – well-founded, forward-looking and always aligned with your family’s interests.

Our family-investment specialists are trusted partners, dedicated to supporting you in your investment journey. We will provide you with legal and tax advice from a single, comprehensive source – with interdisciplinary teams specialising in individual asset classes. Our support extends beyond planning, to implementing and managing your structure over the long term.
