28th Annual International Private Client Conference: New realities in the private client practice.

It has been a pleasure to be part of the panel dedicated to asset protection “what can I do with my asset in this new abnormal world?

As a result of major crises such as the US–China commercial battle, continuing economic effects of Covid-19, run-away causes by socialist-communist political movements in some countries, and the current European entanglement with transparency regulation, asset protection has re-emerged as a critical part of private client planning. There is a demand on lawyers to address the needs of personal security, family migration, political abuse, financial and market volatility, family business internationalisation, rather than solely focusing on tax. This panel will analyse how the legal profession is dealing with such protection needs without violating the transparency world and the responsibility imposed on advisors.
