An Example of Bespoke Services for Exclusive Clients

It was a great privilege for Family Office in London to provide wide scope of services to its exclusive clients.

The scope of the services went well beyond international structuring of global business and family’s assets.

Meet Nathaniel.

Nathaniel is an ultra-high net worth individual. He’s 35 years old and was born and raised in Belgium in a family of immigrants.

Nathaniel’s family originated from Africa. Through his family connections and successful entrepreneurships with European partners, through the years he accumulated substantial wealth.

According to Nathaniel, it is now his time to give back to the nation of his origin. He decided to run for presidential elections and represent Africa’s youth.

He deliberately held on to the citizenship of his parents and did not pursue his Belgian citizenship, so that one day he could run for the elections in his country.

Client’s specific instructions

The presidential candidate had several requests:

• To effectively organise his presidential campaign in his home in Africa with emphasis on French language

• To gain international press exposure in European Union, UK and possibly the USA

• Meet some of the elected leaders in office

• Organise private jet transportation for him and his entourage in Africa and Europe

• Organise his private security for campaigning throughout Africa

• Organise and protect his assets in Europe and Africa

• Buy residential property in London

• Arrange private schools in the UK for his children

• Make high level introductions in the UK and arrange ethical fundraising effort in support of his presidential campaign

Saule Voluckyte, M.A.E.S, LL.B, FAIA

I have been working exclusively with UHNWI in Mayfair, London since January 2008. I built specialist knowledge and expertise required to serve ultra high net worth individuals investing, operating and relocating to the UK or Switzerland.

Within the industry, I am the single adviser who is able to traverse the different areas of expertise and bring a comprehensive approach across: global structuring, UK immigration, international taxation and FOREX to develop their global wealth strategy, while they build, grow and expand their wealth worldwide.

Previous experience as one of the senior advisors for the government, made me a go-to person when delicate and uncomfortable scenarios involving heads of state need to be handled with care and preserve privacy.
