Family Office

New tax laws, a shifting regulatory landscape, innovative investment strategies and technology transformation are just a few of the sweeping developments creating uncertainty — and opportunity — for today’s family offices and the high net worth families they serve.

Loeb & Loeb offers the full range of legal services to meet the evolving needs of family offices. We know that each family office has its own vision, priorities, sensitivities and personalities — reflecting the rich history and the unique individuals that make up each family. We take the time to understand the culture and nuances of each family office, develop a deep working relationship and provide customized solutions to attain the client’s specific business, personal and philanthropic goals.

Drawing on the experience of lawyers throughout the firm, including nationally recognized leaders in trusts and estates, tax, corporate, and nonprofit law, our Family Office team works to serve family offices of all types — single generation and multigenerational, formally and informally organized. We partner with their in-house professionals and outside advisers — accounting, insurance, investment, business, legal and tax, among others — to assist our family office clients, and their family member clients, in legal matters involving both business and personal concerns.
