Frequently asked questions
Is Womble Bond Dickinson a family office or a law firm?
Womble Bond Dickinson is a law firm, specifically a transatlantic legal partnership formed from the 2017 merger of UK firm Bond Dickinson and US firm Womble Carlyle. It is not a family office, asset manager, or investment vehicle. The firm advises family offices and private clients as part of its broader corporate and private wealth practice.
Does Womble Bond Dickinson manage family office assets directly?
No. Womble Bond Dickinson does not manage assets, deploy capital, or make investment decisions on behalf of families. It provides legal advice — including trust structuring, tax planning, estate administration, and cross-border wealth transfer strategies — to family offices, entrepreneurs, and trustees. It is a legal services provider, not an investment manager.
What kind of clients does the private wealth team serve?
The firm serves international families, entrepreneurs, family offices, and trustees with cross-border wealth interests, particularly those with links to both the UK and the US. Its private wealth practice advises on UK and international tax, trust law, estate planning, and asset protection, often coordinating across multiple jurisdictions.
How does the transatlantic structure benefit a family office client?
Unlike most international law firms that operate through separate regional partnerships, Womble Bond Dickinson operates as a single partnership across the UK and US. For a family office with assets, family members, or trustees in both jurisdictions, this allows coordinated legal advice on UK trust structures and US tax planning without relying on referral relationships to external firms.
Which sectors does the firm focus on beyond private wealth?
Womble Bond Dickinson has dedicated sector teams in energy, real estate, technology, financial services, healthcare, and retail. The private wealth team draws on these sector specialists when advising family offices on operating businesses, real assets, and direct investments within their structures.
