Family Office – Project Management and Responsibility

With respect to the families of our clients, the family office assumes the role of a moderator and initiator whenever the family members wish to balance their interests. The family office also monitors and controls the external service providers and consultants involved. If needed, the family office supports in the election process of external advisors such as asset managers, legal advisors, and tax specialists. This includes the identification and discussion concerning any risks identified in the client’s allocation or structure. The client always holds the ultimate power to do the decision, based on the analysis and discussions with the family office.

Family Office – Family Representation

The family office also offers the service to represent the family in transactions towards external third parties. This service allows the family members to stay out of the public and offers privacy. Additionally the family members gain an increased level of freedom from administrative duties. Furthermore as regards to an internal family perspective the family office can serve as a moderator by pooling and distributing information within the family office and by chanelling the communication processes in the family according to the family’s wishes. This approach helps the family to evaluate their matters with emotional distance and therefore also represents a form of quality management for the family.
