S. R. Labby approaches its family office and private client practices with the same attention to financial and non-financial risk management as in our other practices. Our lawyers represent high net worth individuals and family offices, public officials, executives and entrepreneurs in matters ranging from crisis intervention and prevention to trusts and estates, family law matters, security, and financial structuring. Our lawyers’ understanding of both front and back office family office functions includes extensive experience working with clients with net worth ranging from ten million to several billion dollars.

As in our Firm’s risk and crisis management practices, we emphasize examining, quantifying and managing personal and family risks and liabilities as a whole; our advice addresses the “ripple effects” of specific vulnerabilities of our clients and opposing parties to obtain the most advantageous solutions for our clients. In contrast to many lawyers, including many elite lawyers, our Firm is particularly focused on medium- and long-term financial effects of each possible resolution (including effects on business, occupational, and personal interests), projecting the likelihood of various contingencies and their impacts beyond the immediate time frame, and adapting our strategies and tactics to maximize our clients’ long-term benefit.
