Lawyers for Family Offices

A successful family office reflects the structure and core values of the associated business-owning family. Our family office lawyers address your specific requirements around setting up a family office to handle professional asset allocation and management. Such an arrangement relieves family-owned businesses and wealth owners of many routine tasks.

The CMS lawyers specialising in family offices develop tailor-made solutions based on the particular needs and objectives of the family in question. We start by exploring the risks and return expectations, which includes taking the philosophy of the family business and the personality of the owners into consideration.

Our lawyers support the family office in relation to structuring family wealth, drafting shareholder agreements and employment contracts, and advise on all corporate law and tax aspects of investments in real estate, art, etc. or equity interests. Assisting with arrangements for corporate succession is a further service provided by our lawyers for family offices.
