Mayfair, London. Est. 1986
Conrad Family Office sits at the centre of London's most private capital relationships, advising a select number of UHNW clients on complex transactions, real assets and cross border matters, strictly by private engagement.
About
For over forty years I have worked across private capital, structured finance, real estate and special situations, including eighteen years as Managing Director of a privately funded UK lender and the last twenty years advising global UHNW clients, family offices, entrepreneurs and private investors. I act as an independent strategic adviser, working discreetly and strictly by engagement on a select number of mandates.
My work centres on complex transactions, typically ranging from £5 million to £50 million, across prime UK and international real estate, private capital and high value asset classes. I work directly with principals, families, lawyers, accountants, lenders and trusted capital providers, helping clients navigate complex situations and implement structures that are commercially coherent, executable and enforceable.
Whether advising on acquisitions, refinancing, restructuring, recoveries, litigation related matters or bespoke capital solutions, my focus remains the same: delivering practical outcomes through experience, commercial judgement and trusted relationships.
While every engagement is led personally, Conrad Family Office operates through a carefully developed network of lenders, investors, family offices, legal advisers, private banks and specialist consultants built over more than forty years.
Services
We engage where relationships, experience and access matter as much as technical expertise. Many of the situations we encounter are complex, time sensitive or highly confidential, requiring practical judgement and trusted introductions rather than conventional advisory solutions.
Off-market residential and commercial acquisitions across London PCL, Monaco and prime Europe. We identify opportunities that never reach the open market and structure the transaction framework for complete privacy, speed and tax efficiency.
Advisory, valuation guidance and debt introduction for superyachts, private aviation and fine art portfolios through specialist lenders introduced via our established network.
Access to non-recourse third-party litigation funding through institutional funders, plus strategic counsel in complex, cross-border commercial arbitration and high-value legal disputes.
Access to trusted executive protection, intelligence and risk management specialists through our international network. We assist clients requiring discreet assessment, specialist introductions and coordinated support in complex or sensitive situations.
Through relationships developed over four decades, we provide access to private banks, international law firms, fiduciary providers and specialist advisers. Our role is often to identify, introduce and coordinate the right expertise for a particular situation.
