Services / Family Office & Private Clients

When the company carries your name

Advisory for family businesses, owners and private investors — focused on succession, governance and the selection of key leaders. Decisions about an owner-led company are never just business decisions. We treat them that way.

Why it is different

Ownership decisions need a different conversation

A company built by one owner or one family works differently from a corporation. Decisions about who will lead it — whether the next generation, an external CEO or a combination of both — touch family relationships, personal legacy and often decades of work.

That is why we approach these projects with particular care: one senior partner as your single point of contact, absolute discretion, and no pressure on timing. Some of these conversations take months before they become a mandate — and that is how it should be.

What we help with

Our services for owners and investors

01

Family Office Advisory

Support for family businesses and investors across the key questions of ownership: succession, governance and the selection of key managers — from the first structured conversation to implementation.

02

Succession Planning

Systematic preparation of succession for key positions: an honest review of internal candidates, comparison with the external market, and development plans — so that the handover is a process, not an event.

03

Governance for family businesses

Setting up structures that let the family govern and managers manage: advisory boards, supervisory roles and clear rules of cooperation between owners and management.

04

Selection of key external managers

Executive search tailored to owner-led companies — finding leaders who bring professional management and respect what the family has built.

How our search works

Assessment of family & external leaders

Objective, data-based evaluation of internal successors and external candidates — including Hogan Assessment — so the decision rests on evidence, not only on instinct.

Leadership Advisory
How we work with private clients

Discreet by design

One senior partner

You deal with one person throughout — someone with the experience to understand both the business and the family dimension.

Confidentiality without exception

We protect sensitive information about the family, the company and its plans according to the highest standards. Always with your consent, never without it.

Long-term relationship

Succession and governance are not one-off projects. We stay available to owners for years — as a sounding board, not just a supplier.

A confidential first step

Start with a private, no-obligation conversation.
