By court order, Atlas has been appointed provisional director, provisional manager, and custodian, where partners are in protracted litigation.

Atlas advises Family Offices and high net worth clients on acquisitions, and aids in evaluating their real estate holdings to ensure top down synergies between a focused strategy, core competencies, and strong complimentary management.
