Asset Protection

Personal asset protection

We provide advice in relation to personal asset protection and tax structuring. This assist people who may place their personal wealth at risk as a result of their other corporate or business activities and those that have had the misfortune of being through personal insolvency.

Given generational change and the change in the traditional family structure which may now include de facto or same sex relationships or step children, our clients have had the need for specifically tailored succession plans. These include Wills and Testamentary Trust, to help assist in providing for changing dynamics of a family structure and ensuring that the Testators wishes are implemented for the benefit of their beneficiaries.

Corporate structuring and advice

We advise businesses, both "start ups" and existing operations, in respect of the appropriate asset protection, corporate and tax structures and regimes (including the ramifications of international tax treaties). We also advise on pre and post insolvency structuring.

We have advised:
