This full-day conference by Step Singapore discusses the emerging family office regime in Singapore, with an emphasis beyond the typical “who”, “what”, “when”, “where” and “why”. They will focus on what lies beyond start-up and discuss practical next steps to ensure family structures remain efficient, compliant and fit for purpose moving forward. Furthermore, they will examine various issues that family offices encounter on their journey with families.
