Business Asset Protection.

Your assets are the foundation of your success. We help you shield them from risks with strategies like:

  • Structuring ownership to limit liability

  • Drafting agreements to protect against disputes or creditor claims

  • Advising on insurance and legal safeguards for physical and intangible assets.

Operational Business Agreements

We draft and review key agreements to keep your business running smoothly and protected:

  • Partnership Agreements: Define roles, profit-sharing, and exit terms for partners.

  • Shareholders Agreements: Set rules for company ownership, decision-making, and share transfers.

  • Joint Venture Agreements: Clarify contributions and obligations for collaborative projects.

Succession Planning Advice

Plan for the future with a succession strategy that works for you. We assist with:

  • Buy/Sell Option Deeds: Secure agreements that outline how ownership transfers if a partner exits, retires, or passes away—paired with funding mechanisms like insurance.

  • Insurance Policy Trust Deeds: Protect your business with trusts that hold insurance policies, ensuring payouts are managed efficiently for succession or debt coverage.

  • Developing exit strategies (e.g., sale, transfer, or retirement)

  • Structuring trusts or agreements to pass ownership smoothly

  • Minimizing tax implications for you and your successors

  • Resolving family or partner dynamics to avoid conflict.
