About

Provided by AZB & Partners

Our Private Client Practice/ High Net Worth Practice is a dedicated team with deep experience in assisting leading promoter families, family businesses, young entrepreneurs, family offices and High Net Worth Individuals on their private wealth and estate planning. It includes the formation and governance of trust structures, family business successions, settlement of family disputes, group re–organisations/ restructurings, issues germane to holdings in listed companies and related SEBI consequences, planning with respect to cross–border assets and/or for international private clients, management of specialised assets (such as art and artefacts) and high–value philanthropic bequests.

We seamlessly leverage the other practices of our full–service firm to offer tailored advice to our clients, while continuing to act as the relationship contact for the family. This enables us to provide specialist advice in areas such as real estate, securities law, intellectual property, disputes, forensics and tax law. These alternate focus areas are complementary to the advice provided by our partners to private clients and enable them to bring in a depth of expertise that may not be available to advisors with a more limited focus.
