Real estate, succession, private foundations and family holding companies.
Request an initial legal assessmentWealth requires a sound legal structure, whether it comprises real estate, shares, equity investments, family assets or succession arrangements. Particularly where substantial assets are involved, the focus extends beyond individual contracts to long-term security, coordinated tax and legal planning, the prevention of disputes and clear arrangements for the next generation. We advise on real estate projects, wealth structuring, succession, family companies, private foundations and asset-holding companies. Our focus is on practical solutions that make commercial sense and provide a workable legal framework for the long term.
Typical situations in which we can assist
Property and real estate
Are you investing in real estate as an individual or through a company? We’ll guide you through the process—from acquisition and sale to financing, structuring, due diligence, contract drafting, escrow services, leasing, and transfer—with a comprehensive legal and financial approach, all from a single source (one-stop-shop).
Wealth structuring, private client services, and wealth protection
We structure real estate, business interests, and other assets for the long term, align corporate and personal goals, and develop solutions to protect and ensure the orderly transfer of assets.
Succession, inheritance law, and generational transition
We develop legal solutions for business and wealth succession, transfers, gifts, equity participation and arrangements within families. We also explain how wills, advance powers of attorney and advance healthcare directives can record your wishes concerning your assets and personal affairs in the event of serious illness, incapacity or death.
Private foundations & family holding companies
We assess whether a private foundation, a holding structure, or a corporate-law solution is appropriate in a specific case, and we assist with the implementation and ongoing legal structuring.
Dispute prevention and clear rules
We draft contracts, articles of association, and succession plans in such a manner that future conflicts are avoided as much as possible, utilizing our experience in litigious disputes.
Inheritance and family law
We provide advice on inheritance and family law matters involving assets and draft clear agreements regarding marriage, civil partnerships, family, succession, business transfers, and separation.
You have questions – we have the answers
When is a family holding company appropriate?
A family holding company may be appropriate where equity interests, real estate or other assets are to be structured for the long term, transferred or consolidated within the family.
How can wealth be legally structured and protected for the long term?
The appropriate structure depends on the nature and value of the assets, family circumstances and long-term objectives. Corporate and holding structures, private foundations and clear arrangements for future asset transfers can help organise wealth and preserve it across generations. We develop tailored legal structures and, where appropriate, coordinate them with tax advisers and other specialists.
