Family Offices
Overview

We help analyse offshore incomes and structures, assessing their ongoing suitability and the best option to take. This may be especially appropriate if the structures were established based on assumptions or circumstances that have evolved or without considering the full picture. We also help manage, coordinate and streamline managing agents who are responsible for administering offshore companies.

Our tax team has extensive experience of structuring and planning family estates (in the UK and internationally) and mitigating inheritance and other tax liabilities, particularly involving significant assets. We also discreetly prepare bespoke wills, trusts and powers of attorney in the strictest confidence.

We advise on all aspects of property management, including acquisition and disposal, landlord and tenant matters, tax structuring and neighbour disputes. We also leverage the extensive expertise that exists across the entire Burlingtons Group by providing tailored property search and sourcing services. Our team can also help you with the maintenance, financial administration and management aspects of your property portfolios.

We provide comprehensive transaction support by calling on the expertise of our team members from across our corporate, employment, dispute resolution, real estate, family and tax divisions, as appropriate. We have a successful track record of successful completing transactions, especially cross-border, and regulatory matters with a contract value of up to £50million.

We can help you prepare the comprehensive files and legally-certified documents that you need to evidence for due diligence, anti-money laundering, Know-Your-Client (KYC) and other onboarding checks that may be required by banks, financial institutions, estate agents and other professionals you may be working with.

We deal with all aspects of family law and have considerable experience of dealing with cases involving sensitive and complex issues and high profile individuals. We act for high net worth individuals from all walks of life and their partners. The majority of our work has an international focus and we are regularly appointed by our clients to deal with cross-jurisdictional issues.

We provide our sophisticated and high net worth clients with an exclusive selection of off-market investment opportunities via the wider Burlingtons Group. These opportunities include non-property and property deals, ranging from London and international developments and trophy acquisitions through to AI, software development and wellness products.
