“
Families don't lack advice; they lack qualified hands-on resources to call upon when their teams are either unequipped or too busy to tackle specific challenges or implement high-stakes projects.
This is where Westwick comes in, offering temporary support to families with family offices to navigate the extraordinary course of business, before they return to business-as-usual.
