WASHINGTON, D.C—Venable LLP announced today the expansion of its Family Offices offering to address the increasingly interconnected legal and business needs of family offices as they take on broader roles in acquiring businesses and real estate, managing investments, overseeing complex assets, and preserving multigenerational wealth. Family offices are growing in number, scale, and sophistication, with many operating as institutional investors and complex business enterprises. Their legal needs extend well beyond traditional wealth and estate planning to areas such as transactions, governance, real estate, employment, regulatory compliance, philanthropy, cybersecurity, data privacy, and artificial intelligence.
Using a coordinated, concierge-style approach, Venable advises across the lifecycle of family capital, from governance, tax and wealth planning to M&A, direct and fund investments, enterprise protection, philanthropy, and succession. The firm also counsels on specialized assets relevant to high-net-worth families and public figures, including art, real estate, media and entertainment interests, sports teams, intellectual property, royalties, rights of publicity, and name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights.
