For custody platforms, family offices, private banks, fiduciaries and lawyers

Alongside your
client's advisers.

Your client already has advisers. Autark does not replace them. We take the part of the structure that sits between their mandates: how the whole is held across jurisdictions, how it would behave under enforcement or a failed signer, and how it passes to the next generation, including the legal layer around self-custodied digital assets.

The relationship remains yours. We work to a defined scope, report to the client, and with the client's consent keep you informed at each stage.

A law firm,
not a competitor.

Autark Advisory is a law firm licensed in the Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone, UAE, advising clients worldwide. Steffen Feike is a German-qualified Rechtsanwalt and is regulated by the SRA as a solicitor of England and Wales. Our role is to design the structure and direct its build. Everything else stays where it is.

What we do

Stress-test the client's structure across jurisdictions, custody, compartmentalisation, liquidity, and succession
Design the structure the findings call for, in a written plan the client and their advisers can act on
Direct the build through licensed agents and specialist counsel, under one point of accountability
Keep the structure current through Stewardship and, at the Premium level, test that it works with the client's own signers and key-holders

What we do not do

Sell financial products or recommend investments
Manage, hold, or take custody of assets, or hold keys
Act as trustee, banker, or asset manager
Take over a mandate that sits with you

How a referral
works.

Our engagements are designed for clients with investable or protectable assets above USD 5 million. Every engagement begins the same way, whoever makes the introduction.

The introduction

Write to us or call, with or without the client's name. We can speak on a no-names basis first if you prefer to test the fit. Alternatively, the client can complete the free Snapshot, which takes five minutes and requires no identifying information.

The qualifying call

A free 30-minute call with the person who would do the work. You are welcome to join it. The call establishes whether there is an engagement to be had. If there is not, we say so, and the client leaves with a clear view of where their exposure sits.

Standing Counsel or the Blueprint

The client either retains us as Standing Counsel, at USD 1,600 a month, or commissions Architect, a fixed-price written design at USD 5,500 to 12,500. We gather information from you and the client's other advisers as the scope requires. With the client's consent, you receive the findings and the recommended structure.

The build and after

Where the client proceeds, we direct the Build and coordinate with you on every point that touches your mandate: banking lines, custody, trustee arrangements, and reporting. Stewardship, if the client chooses it, then keeps the structure current. The client's banking, investment, custody and fiduciary relationships stay where they are.

For custody platforms
and private banks.

Custody platforms, family offices and private banks increasingly hold clients whose questions are legal rather than technical or financial: who inherits, who has title, what happens when a signer dies or a client moves country. Few can answer those questions in-house, and most disclaim legal advice altogether.

Autark acts as their legal layer. You refer; we contract with the client directly, on the published fees, and are accountable to them. We sell no products, manage no assets and hold no keys, so we never compete with you. There are no referral fees in either direction. Fees and terms.
