Family Office
Wealth preservation, succession planning and generational transfer have become more complex as the economic landscape has shifted. Brækhus Family Office advises families who own substantial assets, tailoring strategies and solutions to secure the family’s financial position over time, including when wealth passes to the next generation.
Advice for families with substantial assets
Brækhus Family Office is here for you and your family. With us, you receive customised solutions that safeguard and protect your wealth over time, even when transitioning wealth to the next generation.
For us, relationships mean everything. We build relationships based on trust, accessibility, and complete discretion. We are here to assist you as the owner of substantial assets.
Our lawyers are specialists in business transfers, generational transitions, economic family law, inheritance, and tax law, both nationally and internationally. Together with you, we develop long-term plans that account for your and your family’s interests. We ensure that agreements protect you and your family in an efficient, secure, and economically sound manner.
Valuation, asset management and disputes
Valuation of companies and real estate is central to our work. We collaborate closely with specialists when necessary. If expert assistance is needed in managing assets, we collaborate with Norway’s and Europe’s leading wealth managers and financial institutions. Together with you and your family, we can identify needs and facilitate contact with one of our partners. Our partner ensures that the management of the assets transferred in a generational transition or estate settlement is well taken care of.
Our ambition is always to find good solutions outside the courts. However, sometimes conflicts may arise. We have specialised litigation lawyers who can assist you in any potential conflict. Our lawyers regularly handle cases in all instances of the court within the areas covered by Brækhus Family Office.
International and interdisciplinary advice
In today’s globalized world, family and inheritance law issues often involve the laws of other countries. Through our memberships in our reputable international legal networks Meritas Law Firms Worldwide, Andersen Global, and Crowe Global, we can assist you wherever in the world your needs may arise.
We often find that cases require expertise in multiple legal areas, such as real estate, company law, or tax. Our lawyers’ interdisciplinary approach ensures that you always have access to the relevant expertise.
