CLIENTS

Who We Advise

Strauss Partners advises internationally active individuals, families and principals with significant UK-facing interests.

Client interests may involve UK entry, property and assets, the commitment of capital, or a broader strategic presence in the UK. Those interests may be new, evolving or already established.

Clients value independent judgement, discretion and direct access when decisions require more than specialist advice alone.

When Clients Involve Us

Clients involve Strauss Partners where an important UK-facing decision requires independent consideration, local context or closer oversight.

This may include:

  • Establishing or expanding a UK presence

  • Evaluating an unfamiliar opportunity

  • Considering or progressing a complex transaction

  • Navigating advisers and counterparties

  • Reconciling differing or fragmented specialist advice

In these circumstances, trusted local judgement can materially improve the quality of the decision.

The Right Relationship

The strongest relationships are with clients who value judgement, candour, discretion and long-term thinking.

They seek considered guidance rather than the fastest or least expensive answer, and value direct access to the principal responsible for the advice.

Trust is expected to develop through reliability, independence and the quality of the judgement provided.

Trusted Intermediaries

Strauss Partners also works alongside trusted professional intermediaries where their clients require independent UK judgement, context or oversight beyond any one specialist discipline.

This may include lawyers, accountants, tax advisers, private bankers, wealth advisers and family-office professionals. Their existing client relationship is respected and protected.

The purpose is not to replace specialist advice, but to help the client understand the wider situation, coordinate perspective and determine an appropriate direction.

A Selective Relationship

Strauss Partners accepts a limited number of engagements so that each relationship can receive direct principal attention.

An introduction does not automatically result in an engagement, and the Initial Advisory does not presume ongoing involvement. Further work is considered where there is a clear role for Strauss Partners and continuing involvement would be valuable to the client.

Introductions through existing clients and trusted intermediaries are preferred.
