Opus Private Family Office
Opus Private Family Office was established in 2010 by Shane Giles in Guernsey. The owner-managed firm supplies fiduciary and wealth-planning services to ultra-high-net-worth families. Its work centers on asset protection, governance frameworks, and succession structures that span multiple jurisdictions. The firm executes through direct co-investments, SPVs, real estate, private equity, and philanthropic vehicles. Confirmed holdings include The Tower Penthouse in London administered via Arabella Properties. Geographic coverage spans Europe and the Middle East & Central Asia. External advisers are retained on a case-by-case basis to maintain impartiality. Shane Giles maintains memberships in STEP and the Pacific Basin Economic Council. No additional offices or headcount figures are disclosed. A Mayfair Private joint venture with Mishcon de Reya extends the firm’s London presence. The architecture separates client mandates from any single family’s balance sheet, allowing the same team to serve multiple unrelated principals through independent SPVs and trust structures.
