Corient has announced the acquisition of Stonehage Fleming, an independently owned multi-family office, and Stanhope Capital, a European independent wealth management and advisory firm creating a $430 billion independent ultra-high net worth wealth manager.
Lead Counsel Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and local Counsel Appleby are advising Corient in its acquisition of Stonehage Fleming as part of its global expansion and establishes its presence in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The acquisitions will bring more than $214 billion in client assets to Corient and means it is set to become the world’s largest non-bank wealth manager and world’s largest multi-family office focussed on ultra-high and high net worth clients.
The acquisitions are expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals.
The Appleby team is being led by Partners Tristan Ozanne (pictured), James Gaudin, Paul Worsnop, Garry Manley and Malcolm Moller across the Guernsey, Jersey, Isle of Man and Mauritius offices, assisted by Counsels Michelle Brook and Muhammad Koomar with associates Josh Tonks, Larissa Dezyk, Ruby Agate and Suhaylah Juman.
