Spear’s Review

Dominic Volek, group head of private clients at Henley & Partners, provides advice to those searching for better mobility, security, privacy and estate planning. His work does not focus on a specific region; instead, he takes on the most complex UHNW cases and advises on residency and citizenship internationally.

‘Hundreds of wealthy individuals rely on our expertise and experience,’ says Volek, who splits his time among the firm’s major offices – from the Americas to Asia Pacific to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. He works closely with the different advisory wings within Henley & Partners, such as the education consultancy, to provide holistic plans for families looking to relocate.

‘We have been involved in strategic consulting and the design, set-up and operation of the world’s most successful residence- and citizenship-by-investment programmes,’ he adds, noting the growing interest in investment migration among wealth managers and HNWs.
