How do we assist clients to protect the wealth we help them generate? In recent years there has been a concerted push to enable assets to be recovered in bankruptcies. This paper will examine:

  • using trusts to optimise asset protective structures
  • competing issues when designing asset protection for clients
  • implications of the High Court decision in Cummins’ case and proposed anti-avoidance provisions
  • use of international trust structures for asset protection.
