Family Office Advisory

Governance, structure, and investment infrastructure for families moving from an operating business to institutional-grade capital management.

Overview

When a family moves from running a business to managing its wealth, it inherits the legal architecture of an institution without the staff of one.

Jason helps families and their advisors build that architecture deliberately: entity structure, governance and decision rights, investment vehicles, co-investment alongside outside sponsors, and the regulatory questions that come with managing capital across family members and generations.

Representative work

  • Single family office structuring and the family office exclusion under the Investment Advisers Act
  • Investment entity and holding company design
  • Governance frameworks, investment committees, and decision rights
  • Direct investments and co-investments alongside institutional sponsors
  • Commitments to third-party funds, including side letter negotiation
  • Planning around liquidity events and business transitions
