— About practice
Money management starts with the right structure
Large capital requires systematic management. As international assets, companies, real estate and investment projects grow, so does the complexity of corporate structure, risk management and interactions between family members, investors and business leaders.
A family office is not a separate company. This is a system for managing international assets, investments, corporate structures and family capital.
Erich Rath guides international business owners, family offices, UHNWIs, entrepreneurs and investors to create legally sound structures for ownership, management and intergenerational transfer of assets.
