Our private legal approach
A world of advice, shaped around you
We put our clients at the centre of everything we do. Many clients often share similar priorities, but their views on how those priorities should be pursued can be very different. We take the time to understand how you view your wealth and how you wish that wealth to be passed on.
Whether you are a high-net-worth individual, the steward of your family’s affairs, or a business owner – you will receive the personal attention and tailored advice of our dedicated lawyers, who are focused on understanding and achieving your specific objectives.
High net worth and ultra high net worth individuals encounter increasingly complex issues in managing, safeguarding and growing their wealth. With assets often spread across multiple countries, family members residing in various jurisdictions, and ever-changing laws and tax regulations, these individuals require expert legal advice across a broad range of specialties.
At Progeny, we offer a world of advice shaped around you. By putting our clients at the heart of what we do, we can create tailored solutions for your complex financial and legal needs.
When it comes to financial and estate planning, every family has unique needs. Family offices can often be complex and difficult to navigate alone. Our expert team can offer bespoke guidance to you and your family in your estate planning.
We understand how difficult it can be to discuss wealth with the family, particularly across multi-generations. Our legal advisers can act as neutral facilitators in these conversations to help ensure everyone is on the same page. We’ve helped generations of families protect and preserve their wealth for the future. Whether you’re looking to set up a family office, organise succession planning or optimise your estate to mitigate the impact of inheritance tax, our team are here to help.
You may be a first generation business owner who would like to discuss new issues about a business sale or succession. Or perhaps you are a fourth generation family member who has recently inherited a family business. At any stage of the family business ownership journey, we can help.
We recognise that there are many different issues faced by you and your family, and our aim is to work with you to provide the most appropriate solutions for you, your business and your family. Our focus is on helping you to preserve your business the way you wish to and plan for the future.
