Family Stewardship

Family stewardship provides the framework that allows for the good practices of the formal legal structures and documents related to the family business. It serves as a structure to clarify roles, responsibilities and processes for family members, and improves communication within the family and between the family and family business.

Family Philanthropic Guidance

What do you want to achieve with your philanthropy? Based on the shared family interests and values, we will help build thoughtful and effective philanthropic pathways that achieve the family legacy and social investment goals.

Family Education & Transition Counseling

Family wealth can be eroded in just a few generations without proper wealth education, generational development, and transition planning. Our strategic focus supports and develops the family as they strive to achieve long-term sustainability and prepare for transitions that reinforces multigenerational success.
