Wealth Structuring and Asset Protection

  • Implement a succession plan to ensure your wealth is passed to future generations according to your wishes, while minimising potential conflicts among family members.
  • Advise on an optimal asset-holding structure (e.g. a trust, foundation, private investment company or family office) tailored to your jurisdictional footprint, family situation and business interests.
  • Identify a suitable structure which will safeguard your assets against litigation, creditor exposure and political or market instability while maintaining control and transparency.
  • Provide advice on charitable giving and philanthropy. 

 

Business Succession and Exit Strategies

  • Assist in navigating the complexities of business succession or sale as business owners approach retirement, to ensure their business legacy is preserved and management and/or ownership transitions smoothly to the next generation.
  • Support your succession plan and leadership transition, including advising the next generation on ownership and leadership needs in preparation of their succession.
  • Assist with your longer-term plans such as initial public offering, mergers and acquisitions and business disposals. For business disposals, we assist with a pre-sale health check to identify risks, issues and gaps, and implement measures to improve the value of the business before going to market.

 

Family Office Structuring and Governance 

  • Assist in the establishment of a family office, with favourable tax regime, to institutionalise the management of your family wealth.
  • Develop an optimal tax structure for wealth transfer including advice on cross-border issues such as regulatory compliance, mitigation of risks and optimising global tax exposure for the family office and its beneficial owners.
  • Help build a family governance framework and have a well-structured family charter to foster mutual understanding of the rights and responsibilities of all individuals with an interest in the family wealth.
  • Function as your trusted advisor to help bridge family conflicts if they arise.
