Global Wealth Demands World-Leading Counsel

Our team of Raea Khan, Mark Lea, George Halikiotis, & Anthony Watson unites Australia’s leading expertise in legacy, trust law, commercial structuring & complex tax.

The Single Point of Failure
Your entire legacy rests on a single legal entity or jurisdiction, creating a single point of failure. This flawed architecture means a liability from one area—a business lawsuit or a professional claim—can cross over & attack every other asset you own.
PBL Law Group engineers a resilient, multi-layered defence. We build a legal fortress of compartmentalised trusts & corporate vehicles that eliminates any single point of failure, ensuring your wealth can withstand any single attack.
When Privacy Becomes a Liability
In an era of radical transparency, privacy must be architected. The rise of Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) registries & global data sharing makes your success a beacon for frivolous litigation, unwanted media attention & personal security risks.
We are the architects of your discretion. We design sophisticated, discreet ownership structures in premier jurisdictions that legally shield your family’s connection to its wealth from the risks of a transparent world.

The Geographic Hostage
Holding your wealth in one country makes it a hostage to that nation’s political & economic fortunes. This lack of jurisdictional diversification is the single greatest portfolio risk, where a sudden wealth tax, capital controls, or political instability can seize your assets.
We liberate your capital by engineering jurisdictional diversification. By strategically domiciling your assets across a portfolio of premier, stable jurisdictions, we ensure no single government holds the key to your family’s entire legacy.
A Reactive Defence is a Failed Defence
Waiting for a threat to materialise is a losing strategy. Courts can unwind or “claw back” asset transfers made under duress, rendering last-minute planning legally void. A defence built in a crisis is a defence that will fail.
Our entire philosophy is proactive. We build your fortress during peacetime, structuring your affairs to be so legally robust that you become an unattractive target from the outset, deterring threats before they are ever made.

FAQs for Wealth Protection & Privacy
What is wealth protection planning?
It is the proactive & legal structuring of your assets to build a resilient defence against future risks. This includes threats like litigation, creditors & matrimonial disputes. The goal is to preserve your capital for generations.
Is sophisticated asset protection legal?
Yes, completely. Proactive wealth protection uses legitimate, well-established legal structures like trusts & companies to organise your affairs. It is a prudent & necessary strategy for managing the complex risks that come with significant wealth.
When is it too late to begin asset protection?
The ideal time is now, before a specific threat exists. Once a legal claim is made or you are aware of a potential liability, transferring assets can be legally challenged & unwound by a court as a voidable transaction.
What is a "multi-layered" or "firewall" structure?
This is an advanced strategy that uses a combination of different legal entities (e.g., a trust owning a company) to create multiple layers of legal separation. This compartmentalises risk & ensures a threat to one asset does not infect the entire structure.
What is jurisdictional diversification?
It is the strategic holding of assets across a portfolio of premier, stable international jurisdictions. This is the single most effective way to protect your wealth from the sovereign risk of any one country, such as a future wealth tax or capital controls.
What are UBO registries & why are they a risk?
Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) registries are public databases that disclose the ultimate owners of companies & trusts. This forced transparency can make you a target for frivolous litigation, unwanted media attention & personal security risks.
How does an international trust enhance protection?
An international trust legally moves the ownership of your assets to a premier offshore jurisdiction with powerful asset protection laws. This makes it extremely difficult for a claimant in your home country to successfully attack the assets.
What is a Private Trust Company (PTC)?
A PTC is a privately-owned company established for the sole purpose of acting as the trustee for a family’s trusts. It is the ultimate tool for maintaining long-term family control & discretion over its own legacy structures.
Can my business risks affect my personal wealth?
Yes, absolutely. Without a legal firewall between your commercial & personal assets, a single business failure or lawsuit can cross over & attack your family home & personal legacy. Separating these risks is a foundational principle of asset protection.
What is an insurance wrapper (like PPLI)?
A Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI) policy is a sophisticated tool where investment assets are held within a life insurance structure. It can provide significant tax benefits & an additional layer of creditor protection in certain jurisdictions.
Why is privacy itself a form of asset protection?
Discretion is a core element of security. By legally shielding your connection to your assets from public view, you reduce your profile as a potential target for the frivolous lawsuits & opportunistic claims that follow visible wealth.
What is a "stress-test" of an existing structure?
A stress-test is a rigorous legal audit of your current trusts, companies & other entities. It is designed by firms like PBL Law Group to identify legal weak points, compliance gaps & vulnerabilities that could be exploited in a future legal challenge.
How do I choose the right international jurisdiction?
The choice depends on your specific goals. It requires a sophisticated analysis of a jurisdiction’s legal framework, tax neutrality, stability & reputation, which is a core part of the strategic advice provided by our firm.
Can I still control my assets in these structures?
While you legally relinquish direct ownership, a high degree of control can be retained through strategic roles. This can be achieved by acting as the protector of a trust or through the board of a Private Trust Company.
Why is multi-disciplinary legal counsel so important?
Effective wealth protection requires the integration of trust law, tax law & commercial law. A structure designed without considering all three disciplines will have inherent weak points that can be exploited.
