Family Office Risk Advisory

King & Spalding’s family office risk advisory initiative focuses on strategic and legal advice to global family offices. The team works with leading global financial institutions and alternative investment managers to enable our clients to assess risks to family wealth that arise from: systemic factors in the clients’ countries of origin and in countries targeted for asset diversification; regulatory exposure in the EU, UK and US; global monetary easing, advance of virtual currencies and development of decentralized finance.

An elite team. Our team consists of trusted advisors to top family offices across the world. Among its members are former U.S. Department of Justice officials, the former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, former Acting Attorney General, and former FBI Chief of Staff. The group integrates the firm’s capabilities with leading wealth planning institutions, specialists in cyber operations and strategic communications, and regulatory and law enforcement experts to enable preemption and diversification of risk. We work with clients to manage risk across the spectrum and counsel clients on complex risk scenarios, including regulatory, business, and strategic communications considerations. In addition, we advise clients on the risk to capital posed by government actions, informational warfare, and cyber operations.

The team draws on deeply experienced external advisors with decades of international banking expertise who bring a global network of relationships at the summit of international finance and provide strategic advice.
