What changes when a family business passes to the next generation
Succession is a family conversation long before it is a financial one. Where to start.
We help families grow, protect and pass on wealth across generations, with the clarity and care a lifetime of work deserves.
Thomas Mills, Ben Lapshinoff and Daniel Melendez lead a practice built around a single belief: that family wealth is best managed across generations, not one transaction at a time. Together they bring disciplined investing, thorough planning, and a genuinely family-first way of working to every relationship they take on.
Our clients are families with complex, multi-generational wealth, business owners planning what comes next, and the next generation preparing to inherit the decisions, not only the assets.
Whether you are planning for your family, your business, or protecting what you have built, there is a clear next step here.

Succession is a family conversation long before it is a financial one. Where to start.
The signals that matter, and the noise we deliberately tune out.
The habits and conversations that carry family wealth past the second generation.
The families we work with are the centre of everything we do. Wherever life takes them, we stay close, present and genuinely invested in the people, and the futures, that our work is really about. That is what family wealth means to us, and it is the standard we hold ourselves to on every relationship we take on.
Tell us which conversation you would like to start, and the right person will be in touch.
