Memberships
Family Office Membership
Every client situation involves a different combination of personal, family, business, property and cross-border matters. Our annual Family Office memberships provide one central point of coordination across all eight Octopus Prime service areas.
One relationship. Eight service areas. Four levels of support.
Not ready for an annual membership?
Start with a Private Strategy Session
A confidential initial review of your personal, family, business or international situation. We identify the relevant service areas, immediate priorities, potential risks and the most appropriate membership level.
The session fee may be credited towards an annual Family Office membership if you proceed within 14 calendar days. The session does not include implementation or ongoing coordination.
