The pivotal role of Family Governance for Asian family businesses

Watch highlights from our private wealth event in Singapore showcasing the growing importance of Family Governance for Asian family businesses.

On 11 February, our Forsters’ Asia team hosted the first of our flagship events in Singapore at the tail end of Chinese New Year celebrations. We had the pleasure of welcoming our network of private wealth intermediaries in the region for an evening filled with insightful discussion and valuable network.

The evening’s highlight was the keynote speech by our esteemed guest speaker, Ho Kwon Ping, founder and executive chairman of the Banyan Group. He shared his personal insights on the importance of Family Governance for Asian family businesses, emphasising its role in ensuring the long-term success of family enterprises for generations to come.

The event was also an opportunity to thank our contacts in Singapore, whom we have worked alongside to service our private clients in Asia for over 30 years and to reflect on our growing remit for advising private clients across the region. As well as our core private client services involving UK tax advisory, cross-border estate planning, and the growing demand for our family governance services, our specialists in trust and estate disputes, family and real estate are pivotal in supporting our clients in the region.

As a team that regularly travels to Asia to service our contacts and clients it was a special occasion to celebrate with our closest connections and share insights on the pivotal role of Family Governance in ensuring the successful future of family businesses across Asia.
