According to a Sept 26 announcement, wealthy families require “sophisticated guidance” on complex cross-border structures, regulatory compliance and succession planning. Family office legal counsel must also navigate “varied asset portfolios, multiple jurisdictions and intricate family dynamics”, add WMI and the Law Society of Singapore.
Singapore lawyers will soon be able to gain specialised skills in family office advisory through a strategic partnership between the Wealth Management Institute (WMI) and the Law Society of Singapore.
Starting 2026, a “multi-year” training initiative aims to equip Singapore's 6,500 practising lawyers with specialised skills amid the rapid expansion of Singapore's family office landscape.
