Mishcon de Reya launches ‘Mayfair Private’ to offer fiduciary and family office services

Mishcon de Reya has announced (via an interview with Legal Business) that it is set to launch an independent, private client advisory business entitled ‘Mayfair Private’ to provide ‘discreet professional solutions’ to wealthy individuals, families and private offices.

The joint venture with offshore fiduciary firm Opus Private will create a single point of access for co-ordinating legal, fiduciary and family office services from offices in London, Guernsey and Dubai. Advice on offer will include family governance; family office advisory; wealth protection; philanthropic structuring; sourcing and protecting lifestyle assets; and bespoke concierge services.

Opus Private has has worked with Mishcon for many years. Opus’ Dubai-based director, Andrew Young (pictured), was formerly head of private client at Lawrence Graham.

Mishcon’s managing partner Kevin Gold  said: ‘It became clear that there was a pressing need for the family and private office-related services – that traditionally fall outside of the remit of a law firm – to be professionalised. Consolidating the specialist private experience of Mishcon de Reya and Opus Private to create Mayfair Private enables us to fulfill this need. Clients of Mayfair Private will also enjoy access to an exclusive network of best in class professionals who will help them to achieve their goals.’
