A Chief Legal Officer (CLO) Is common In more substantial SFOs. However, as stated throughout, It is
all about what is best for the family?s needs. A key benefit for the family is building out an SFO
organization that is highly customized.
Job Responsibilities
Families with highly complex and/or multiple business interests can benefit greatly from hiring an in-
house legal professional. The CLO can evaluate business, real estate and complex investment
opportunities from a different perspective than the other senior executives of the SFO. The CLO can
negotiate business transactions and perform closings as well.
The CLO may be hired for both business and personal needs, or have a focus on the personal family
needs, organizing and monitoring family trusts and partnerships, as well as trust & estates issues.
As noted earlier in the section on CFO, for the principal who remains an active investor (this is how
there wealth was created), a highly talented and trusted attorney can be the choice of CEO.
Families of significant wealth often need multiple specialized experts in business, patents, litigation,
marriage law/pre-nuptials, trust & estates, etc. A well-diversified and connected CLO can manage
these areas through internal staff and outsourced relationships and coordinate all efforts.
CLO Salary Ranoes and Compensation
Similar to the CFO position base salary frequently ranges from $175,000 - $250,000. Salary,
combined with short-long term bonuses, deferred compensation and although less common then the
other senior positions noted may include co-investing opportunities, combined compensation
frequently will vary between $300,000 - $550,000.
DIRECTOR OF PHILANTHROPY
Some families elect to create a Director of Philanthropy position. Most commonly, the family?s
philanthropic initiatives are directed through a separate entity, such as a family foundation(s), as
opposed to directed by the family 5FO.
It is always recommended to create separate entities for the SFO and the family foundation(s). Until
a family?s philanthropic mission and giving level is expansive to warrant hiring a full time director,
typically an engaged family member assumes the responsibility for the role.
Most families of significant wealth desire to improve their ability to indentify and verify philanthropic
opportunities for causes that are in alignment with their family values, investment focus, and
personal passions. More often, the decision is based on passion engagement, and less so by financial
motivations.
Job Responsibilities
The family member or director selected to undertake this endeavor needs to understand how
philanthropic endeavors fit within the family mission statement and business plan. Focusing active
family members and engaging younger generations in their passions is critical to this role.
The Director of Philanthropy along with a specific philanthropic advisory committee, sources and vets
philanthropic opportunities aligned with the family mission statement and business plan. if desiring
outside contributions, fundraising experience is preferred, with both traditional and online expertise.
