Our Services
One office coordinating every dimension of a family's affairs: capital, property, significant assets, daily life and standing representation, delivered with discretion and licensed professionals wherever regulation applies.
Five disciplines, one standard of care
Most firms serve one slice of a family's affairs. AfriOne was built on the observation that the slices are connected. A property purchase raises questions of financing, ownership structure and tax. A succession plan touches the operating business, the art collection and the children's education. Our five disciplines are organised so that each engagement can draw on the others without you having to brief a new advisor each time. One file, one point of contact, one consolidated view.
Every engagement is led by a senior partner who remains accountable for the outcome, supported by specialists in our Paris head office and four African regional offices. Where the work requires regulated expertise, it is executed by licensed advisors in the relevant jurisdiction, coordinated and supervised by us. Due diligence precedes every commitment of capital, and reporting follows every mandate.

Wealth & Financial
Family capital rarely sits in one place. It is spread across operating businesses, bank accounts in several countries, property, and commitments to the next generation. Our wealth and financial practice brings that picture into a single plan: how capital is invested, how liquidity is kept available, how banking relationships are arranged, and how ownership is structured so that wealth is protected and transferable. Portfolios are built with institutional discipline on allocation, cost and reporting, and every private market opportunity passes independent due diligence before capital moves.
Where the work touches tax or law, it is executed by licensed tax counsel and lawyers in each relevant jurisdiction. We coordinate them, hold them to a timetable, and translate their advice into decisions you can act on. The result is a structure you can explain in one page: who owns what, through which entity, governed by which documents, and reviewed on which date.

DetailsTrust, Estate & Succession Planning
Wills, trusts, foundations and family governance that settle how wealth passes to the next generation, documented before the question ever becomes urgent.
DetailsAsset Protection & Holding Structures
Holding companies and ownership structures across reputable jurisdictions that ring-fence assets and simplify multi-country ownership.
DetailsReal Estate
Property is where most of our clients hold their most visible wealth, and where mistakes are hardest to unwind. We source, vet and negotiate residential, commercial and development property across the African capitals and the established international markets, including access to properties that never reach the open market. Every acquisition begins with a written brief and ends with clean title, and the negotiation is handled by us so your name enters the transaction only when you choose.
The work does not stop at completion. We verify title and planning status before exchange, coordinate local counsel in each market, and then administer the property afterwards: maintenance, staff, insurance and a single monthly report. Clients who build receive the same discipline through feasibility, permitting and delivery.
Residential Acquisition
Primary homes, penthouses and estates sourced, vetted and negotiated on your behalf, from first brief to keys in hand.
DetailsInternational Property

DetailsOff-Market & Private Listings Access
Quiet access to properties that never reach the open market, through a network of owners, family offices and senior agents built over a decade.
DetailsLuxury Asset Acquisition
Significant physical assets deserve the same rigour as financial ones. Our luxury asset practice acquires collector automobiles, yachts, private aircraft, fine art, watches, jewellery and rare collections, drawing on marque dealers, auction houses, private collections and the great estates. Every purchase is authenticated, surveyed or independently inspected before funds move, and provenance is documented in writing.
We also handle everything that surrounds the purchase: import and registration, flagging and crew for marine craft, aviation counsel and vetted operators for aircraft, storage, insurance and maintenance. You receive an asset that is verified, insured, properly held and ready to use, with a file that will stand up when the asset is eventually sold or passed on.

DetailsLifestyle & Concierge
A well-run life depends on practical arrangements made properly. Our lifestyle practice covers motorsport and event access, private travel designed to the hour, household staffing and estate management, security coordination through licensed providers, education placement for children and family members, and priority access to leading medical specialists. Each request is handled by a named coordinator who knows the family and its preferences.
The standard is the same as in our financial work: staff are reference-checked and contracted properly, security providers are licensed and vetted, and access is secured through long-standing relationships rather than promises. Families use this practice season after season because the arrangements simply hold.

DetailsAdvisory & Representation
Some clients want more than individual services. They want one office that stands beside the family permanently: coordinating every advisor, bank and lawyer, negotiating significant purchases without exposing the family name, planning relocation and second residences with immigration counsel, structuring philanthropy that is governed properly, and keeping independent oversight of operating businesses.
This is the most senior work we do, and it is led accordingly. A partner holds the relationship, a small dedicated team executes, and the family receives one consolidated view of its affairs. Conflicts of interest are disclosed in writing, and we act solely on the mandate you sign.
