The Family Office Architects

We lay the foundation for your unique life plans

About Opus Au Lac

At Opus Au Lac, we specialise in consulting on private finance and family office management. Our clientele consists of decision-makers in single family office structures and asset owners. Unlike wholesale providers of family office services or asset management firms, we focus on tailored advisory services for specific situations in the lifecycle of an entrepreneurial family or family office. We collaborate with you to design customised asset structures for your family, laying the generational foundation to build a resilient, bespoke “multi-generational house” – for you, your children, their children, and future generations.

“Our focus is on providing advice and support. We help you decide “whether” and “how” to manage your assets. Then we find the best components, the perfect service providers or employees for your needs. We’ll instruct and train them, and if you want, we’ll even monitor the implementation to ensure everything runs smoothly.”.

Save, preserve
and savour

Property is an obligation: therefore it must be protected and preserved. But it is also there to give those it serves security and the freedom to have more time for the finer things in life.

Entrepreneurial direct investments / M&A

We support the acquisition and sale of direct shareholdings in companies and also provide transaction advice.

Family Business Management

When advising on strategic ownership issues, we help families to define their individual family "value compass" and smooth the transition to the next generation;

Family Office
Management

We help asset owners (and their families) to answer all questions about "whether" and "how" to set up their own asset management structures - or provide support when it comes to making existing structures more efficient.

Work with us

We approach problems with a holistic perspective. While a banker or financial advisor brings essential financial insights, we complete that and we complement that with the keen eye of an entrepreneurial asset owner. Combining our operational experience with professional expertise allows us to focus on solutions and keep an eye on the “big picture,” not just the liquid assets.

We know what we are doing: Because we have managed large single family offices and helped to set up multifamily offices - and worked in positions of responsibility there. We therefore know the pitfalls in the operational business, but also the best practices - and have therefore been providing our advice to international entrepreneurial families for years: objectively and independently at all times.
