Family office experts Timothy Lappen, Efi Avigdor, and Ken Kilroy participated in a panel discussion titled “Life Cycle of the Family Office.” A life cycle approach was used to examine the form and function of some of the world’s largest family offices. The speakers discussed the structures that family offices use, concentrating on how family offices can be built, modified, and reinvented to focus on the family’s most precious asset: the family.
Whether you are a family considering the establishment of a family office, a family seeking to optimize a family office, or an advisor looking for guidance on how to do it best for your client’s situation, this is the conversation you will want to hear.
