Speaker

Profile

Paul Pratt is Head of our Funds & Family Office practice.

Paul has experience working with ultra-high net worth families, their offices, and advisers. A second-generation family member of a successful construction company, he has an intrinsic understanding of the challenges families face, and how to successfully navigate the journey from operating business to family office.

Where relevant, Paul is a strong believer in looking for solutions through the lens of the family dynamic, to help families identify their purpose and why they should stay together.

Paul works with families across the globe, helping create their family office, governance, and communication processes, and ran his own deal flow platform connecting families and their family offices for co-investment opportunities.


Paul was previously the international Managing Partner of Family Office Exchange, where he helped families in business develop their office; define their vision, purpose, and mission, and advised on family governance and single-family office best practice. Paul hosts the PKF family gathering dinners and the family office interview series, and is the creator of the family journey interactive planning tool.
