Our Asset Protection and Restructuring Lawyers Capability & Expertise
Our services include, but are not limited to:
1. Asset Protection Strategies
Protecting your personal and business assets is essential to shield them from potential risks such as lawsuits, business insolvency, or family disputes. Our services include:
- Risk Assessment and Strategy Development: Conducting a thorough review of your financial and business position to identify vulnerabilities and designing bespoke strategies to mitigate risks.
- Trust Structures and Family Trusts: Establishing protective trust structures, including discretionary family trusts, to separate personal assets from potential business or legal liabilities.
- Superannuation Protection: Advising on strategies to protect retirement savings, including the use of self-managed super funds (SMSFs) to safeguard assets from creditors.
- Private Asset Protection: Developing strategies to protect assets like real estate, investments, and business interests, ensuring they are secure from personal and commercial risks.
2. Risk Management, Liability Limitation, and Restructuring for Financial Protection
By separating the operational and sales functions into distinct legal entities, you can better manage risk and protect valuable assets from liabilities associated with either business function.
- Isolating Operational Risks: Operational entities may be exposed to higher risks, such as employee-related claims, supply chain issues, or operational failures. By separating these functions, you limit exposure to the sales business and reduce the potential financial impact.
- Isolating the Sales or Revenue-Generating Vehicle: By creating a separate legal entity for your sales or revenue-generating operations, you protect these critical revenue streams from risks associated with the operational side of the business, ensuring that revenue generation remains stable and secure.
3. Business Structuring and Restructuring
A well-structured business is key to minimising liability and protecting assets. We advise on how to protect your business interests through effective structuring, including:
- Company and Trust Structuring: Advising on the optimal structure for your business, including whether to operate using a set of special purpose vehicles or trusts to maximise asset protection.
- Group Structures and Holdings: Helping businesses establish holding company structures and subsidiary relationships to separate riskier assets from core business operations.
- Corporate Restructuring: Assisting companies in restructuring their business operations to improve efficiency, minimise debt exposure, and protect their assets in the event of financial difficulties.
- Succession Planning: Developing strategies for passing on ownership of your business to family members or new owners while maintaining asset protection.
