Partners
Faster Than the Market. Resilient Beyond Circumstances.
Catamaran Family Office is an outsourced multi-family office serving wealthy families, private family offices and sophisticated wealth-holding structures across the UK and international markets. We create a co-ordinated ecosystem around each client’s priorities—from global assets, succession planning, governance, compliance and investment infrastructure to lifestyle services, personal projects and specialist mandates.
For families with an established family office, our model provides access to specialist expertise, trusted professional firms and project-based resources within a controlled and confidential framework—without the need to expand the permanent team for every specialist requirement.
Within our areas of expertise, we support clients who place particular value on discretion, predictability, exceptional service, cross-border capability, cultural awareness and clear accountability.
In many cases, clients require more than the advice of an individual specialist. They need a dependable institutional partner: a firm with an experienced team, established internal processes, robust quality controls, appropriate professional indemnity insurance, rigorous compliance procedures and the capacity to deliver consistently over the long term.
We are therefore developing a carefully selected network of professional firms capable of supporting our clients and Catamaran Family Office as trusted specialist providers in their respective fields.

Our Partnership Standards
We consider only organisations capable of operating in an environment of significant responsibility. Professional expertise and reputation are essential, but so too are the maturity, resilience and discipline of the organisation’s operating model.
When assessing a prospective partner, we consider its specialist capabilities, jurisdictional coverage, experience with private clients and family offices, team structure, internal quality controls, relevant licences or regulatory status, professional indemnity insurance, references, compliance framework, information security, ability to operate under confidentiality agreements and readiness to complete conflict-of-interest checks before participating in a client mandate.
We also assess communication and service standards. When advising prominent families and managing substantial private wealth, accurate documentation and sound professional advice are only part of the requirement. Partners must manage each process calmly and precisely, avoid unnecessary exposure or pressure, respect cultural and family sensitivities, and work within an agreed co-ordination framework.
How We Work Together
Partner firms may be engaged in Catamaran Family Office mandates to:
- provide an independent professional opinion;
- support matters involving a particular jurisdiction;
- deliver a clearly defined specialist service;
- participate in a multidisciplinary advisory team;
- provide ongoing support to a family or investment structure;
- administer a specific asset; or
- strengthen the operational infrastructure of a family office.
Every engagement is determined by the requirements of the client mandate. We agree each partner’s role, level of access, communication arrangements, responsibilities, timetable, expected outcomes, escalation procedures and quality standards in advance.
Information is shared strictly on a need-to-know basis and only to the extent required to perform the mandate. We use confidentiality agreements and manage the exchange of sensitive data in accordance with the relevant jurisdiction, risk profile and client requirements.
Catamaran Family Office remains the central co-ordinating party. We maintain the integrity of the process, ensure that each partner’s work is aligned with the client’s wider wealth and operational architecture, and help prevent fragmentation, duplication and loss of control.
Independence and the Client’s Interests
The Catamaran Family Office partner network is built around the client’s best interests. We do not treat partnership as a showcase of services or as a closed panel of preferred providers. Each partner is selected for a particular mandate according to its complexity, jurisdictional requirements, the client’s objectives and the expected standard of accountability.
Every partner must maintain professional independence while working constructively with the client’s other advisers. Any actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest must be disclosed and reviewed before work begins.
We value partners who understand that trust within the private wealth sector is not established through prominent claims. It is earned through consistent delivery, discretion, professional ethics and accountability for outcomes.
Invitation to Partner
If your organisation advises private clients, family offices, high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth families, investment structures or owners of complex assets, we welcome the opportunity to explore a professional partnership.
We are interested in organisations with stable and experienced teams, demonstrable expertise, transparent processes, rigorous confidentiality standards and the ability to operate within a co-ordinated ecosystem designed around the client’s interests.
