Lydian is expanding its legal practice with the addition of an integrated wealth organisation team. Through this 'Wealth Team' the leading law firm is taking a multidisciplinary approach to assisting clients dealing with the increasingly complex legal and tax regulations applying to personal wealth planning and to business assets structuring.
Lydian has brought together its expertise in estate planning, real estate planning, taxation and the structuring of real estate holdings, insurance and pensions into a single multidisciplinary Wealth team. In this way Lydian will make full use of its legal expertise to develop long-term strategies and recommendations for clients concerned about their wealth organisation and management. Unlike niche firms and asset managers, Lydian not only offers specific expertise in all these areas but also totally independent and impartial advice from lawyers with many years of experience.
Organising and managing wealth demands specific types of expertise in relation to wealth planning and wealth structuring, as well as in real estate, tax, insurance and pensions. Each of these areas represents a critical factor in the context of wealth organisation.
Organising wealth efficiently is not as easy as it used to be, due to greater regulation, increasing fiscal pressures and financial returns which often tend to be lower than in the past. As a result there is a need for advice on organising wealth efficiently to be provided in an integrated and multidisciplinary way.
"We are bringing together our expertise in providing legal advice on the organisation of wealth as a response to growing demands from our clients. This is a logical consequence of the changes that are taking place in legislation and regulations. More and more business leaders and wealthy individuals are becoming aware of the importance of wealth organisation. An integrated approach makes it possible to work proactively to preserve our clients' wealth," says Wouter Neven, managing partner at Lydian.
The 'Wealth Team' at Lydian is led by Wouter Neven, managing partner and specialist real estate lawyer, Geert De Neef, partner and specialist tax and property lawyer, and Sandra Lodewijckx, partner and specialist insurance and pensions lawyer.
