A family governance agenda and a proposed rhythm for decisions.

Privacy, access to information and authority to make decisions should be agreed from the outset.

Where we can help

The questions that matter.

Family Governance

01

Shared principles

The family’s shared interests, individual priorities and existing arrangements provide the starting point.

Existing ownership, family arrangements and advisers are the starting point.

02

Decision rights

Decision rights, communication and the distinction between family and business responsibilities can be addressed together.

A change in one country or one family asset can affect tax, succession and administration elsewhere.

03

Review and communication

The resulting arrangements should be understandable to the people expected to use them and reviewed as circumstances change.

Privacy, access to information and authority to make decisions should be agreed from the outset.
