隨着改革開放之初開始創業的創一代逐漸步入退休年齡,年輕一代開始走向台前,中國大批高凈值家族開始進入財富傳承的重要階段。此時,大批家族辦公室如雨後春筍般出現,旨在通過專業服務助力華人企業家,幫助解決其家族、家族企業和家族財富的傳承難題。但對於“何為家族辦公室”以及“信託如何進行本土化實踐”的討論仍未有市場普遍認可之回答。

本次公開課活動由中聯律師事務所高級合伙人陳初律師主持;樂山家族辦公室的代表,創始人及董事總經理鄭姍姍女士聯席董事倫詠妍女士,為現場及線上的中聯律師們介紹了境內外家族辦公室行業的發展現狀及趨勢,深入探討了家族辦公室常用之法律工具——離岸信託的功能及應用,並分享了樂山作為聯合家族辦公室與律師團隊的合作實務及過往成功實操經歷。樂山的戰略合作夥伴,香港老牌律所姚黎李律師行麥俊強律師亦出席,與在場嘉賓深入探討了普通法系下的信託實操相關資訊

席間,與會嘉賓提出了許多內地高凈值客戶遇到的實操方面的問題。可見,華人企業家們已開始積極了解並使用家族辦公室服務及離岸信託等工具,並對其進行本土化調整。隨着華人高凈值家庭的財富傳承及風險隔離需求逐漸增多,家族辦公室服務離岸信託等工具也將被更廣泛地應用於華人客戶的私人財富和風險管理場景

2023年開始,中國香港特區政府大力投入,支持本地家族辦公室行業的發展。而香港是全球公認的資本金融中心主流私人財富離岸管理中心,在家族辦公室的發展上有着得天獨厚的優勢;其作為連接內地和海外金融資本市場的戰略樞紐雙向門戶,在服務亞洲客戶、尤其是華人背景的客戶方面,具有不可動搖的地位。

BIPPO Invited to Speak at SGLA Law Firm’s Family Wealth Public Lecture Series

Date : 18/05/2024

As the concepts of family offices and offshore trusts continue to gain prominence among high-net-worth individuals, BIPPO Family Office was honoured to be invited as a guest speaker at the SGLA Shanghai Family Wealth Management Centre Public Lecture Series, organised by SGLA Law Firm. Serving as the speaker for the fourth session, BIPPO’s representatives shared practical insights from an industry perspective, addressing common misconceptions and key reflections surrounding Hong Kong family offices and offshore trusts in the current market landscape. 

With many first-generation entrepreneurs who established their businesses during China’s early reform era now approaching retirement, and the younger generation gradually taking the lead, a growing number of Chinese high-net-worth families are entering a critical phase of wealth succession. Against this backdrop, family offices have emerged rapidly, aiming to help Chinese entrepreneurs navigate the complex challenges of family, business, and legacy planning through professional services. However, discussions around what defines a family office and how trusts can be effectively localised in practice remain open and evolving within the industry.

The public lecture was hosted by Mr. Chen Chu, Senior Partner at SGLA Law Firm. Representing BIPPO Family Office, Ms. Elizabeth Zheng, Founder and Managing Director, and Ms. Wendy Lun, Associate Director, provided the audience — both in-person and online — with an overview of the development and emerging trends of family offices in both domestic and international contexts. They also offered an in-depth discussion on the functions and applications of offshore trusts, a common legal tool in family office practice, and shared BIPPO’s experience in collaborating with legal teams and successful case studies. BIPPO’s strategic partner, Mr. Morency Mak, Partner at IU, LAI & LI Solicitors & Notaries, a long-established Hong Kong law firm, also attended the session and joined the panel in exploring trust implementation under the common law framework.

During the session, participants raised a range of practical questions frequently encountered by mainland high-net-worth clients. The discussion revealed that Chinese entrepreneurs are increasingly engaging with and adopting family office services and offshore trust structures, while also exploring how to adapt these tools to local contexts. As the demand among Chinese high-net-worth families for wealth succession planning and risk isolation continues to grow, family office services and offshore trusts are expected to play an increasingly important role in entrepreneurs are increasingly engaging with and adopting family office services and offshore trust structures, while also exploring how to adapt these tools to local contexts.

Since 2023, the Hong Kong SAR Government has made significant efforts to support the development of the local family office industry. As a globally recognised financial and capital hub, and a leading centre for offshore wealth management, Hong Kong holds natural advantages in developing the family office sector. Its unique position as a strategic gateway linking Mainland China and international financial markets makes it an indispensable platform for serving Asian — and particularly Chinese — high-net-worth families.
