The Shearman & Sterling Family Office Group held a discussion with Rael Gorelick, partner and Chief Investment Officer at Biltmore Family Office, led by Private Client partner Anna Salek about how family offices increasingly have to navigate the complexities of the unpredictable environment that we are currently in.

COVID-19 has not only impacted the health and well-being of our society, it has also had a direct impact on global markets and businesses, including the strategic, operational and regulatory models that support family offices. This discussion will focus on the current state of the market and will identify the opportunities family offices have during the current global health situation. We examined the fiscal and monetary response to the disruption and discuss the implications for global investment going forward.
