The Family Offices Area, headed by partner Victoria Ripoll, is focused on “private clients”: family offices, holding companies of family business groups, and business families, all of which share certain specific characteristics.

This team’s professional practice addresses mainly corporate law issues. However, this area also handles civil, regulatory, labor, and tax matters, which are worked together with the firm’s respective specialist areas when the cases are more complex or structured.

In particular, this area is specialized in:

• Drafting and managing family protocols and agreements to preserve family wealth and succession;

• Providing daily advice to family offices and family business groups on their investments (including issues related to the control of shareholdings from a regulatory perspective and compliance with financial industry requirements);

• The incorporation of family offices and family business groups, as well as the assistance in hiring executives;

• Corporate structuring for the incorporation of subsequent generations (both in ownership and management);

• Drafting wills and structuring the family business group in accordance with them; and

• Focusing on social impact investing and philanthropy (donations and organization of foundations and corporations, non-profit entities).
