One adviser on your side of the table, coordinating the legal, tax, banking, and structuring decisions behind your family's wealth. In Romania, across the EU, and across generations.
We coordinate your and your family's preparation with legal, tax and banking specialists, so you know which questions need answering and who will take each one forward.
We bring your holdings and family circumstances into one picture, identify the specialists needed and coordinate the next steps, so you have a clear view of what needs attention and who is responsible.
We help clarify your family's intentions, future responsibilities and decisions requiring legal or notarial support, so everyone understands what needs to be agreed and what happens next.
We bring your advisers around shared priorities, agree responsibilities and follow up on progress, so you spend less time relaying information and chasing updates.
Your lawyer, accountant, banker and other advisers each handle part of your financial affairs. Their work often depends on decisions and information held elsewhere.
We bring that information together, clarify priorities and coordinate the next steps with the people involved. You have one point of contact to follow progress across the agreed mandate.
An entrepreneur wanted a clearer way to oversee business interests, property and investments, with future succession in mind.
We mapped the assets, income sources and family objectives, then developed structuring options for discussion with legal and accounting advisers in the relevant jurisdictions. The resulting arrangement brought the business and separate property and investment companies under a holding company.
This gave the owner a clearer view of ownership and cash flows, supported by company accounts, and a more organised basis for overseeing the assets.
