This is a well-established Brisbane practice with a focused niche in multi-generational family businesses and their principals. Clients are high-net-worth families who have often had a significant exit event in their 40s or 50s and now manage complex investment portfolios, philanthropic interests, new business ventures, and overseas operations. Each client relationship generates well over $200K in annual fees and demands a high level of trust, technical depth, and personal service.
