Asset Protection Strategies

Protecting Legacy Through Considered Planning

Asset protection is not simply about reducing risk, it’s about ensuring what matters most remains intact.  Whether that’s business continuity, wealth transfer or cross generational leadership, we help families preserve what wealth enables:  freedom, security, and choice.  

The original wealth creator is often marked by exceptional drive, insight, and the ability to act decisively on opportunity. But the same qualities that generate wealth can, in some cases, also expose it to risk; particularly when structures aren’t equipped to handle the complexities of family change, cross-border exposure, or future governance.

In our view, risk itself is not the problem; it’s the failure to understand where risk lies, or how to plan for it, that leads to loss.

Strategic Protection for Families and Wealth

Ellora Private Office offers a tailored, discreet approach to asset protection. We help families understand where they may be exposed and design bespoke, research-driven strategies to reduce risk and preserve control.

Our work spans both predictable and unforeseen risks: from trust structuring and cross-border ownership to governance disputes, generational change, divorce, and reputational exposure. We also work in close partnership with your existing advisers to ensure alignment and clarity across every jurisdiction.

International, Independent, and Informed

We are based in New Zealand and operate globally, supporting clients with complex, international footprints. Our approach is jurisdiction-agnostic and independent, meaning the advice we provide is not limited to any one structure or provider. Your family’s needs, values, and objectives determine the strategy, ours is not a templated solution.

“Vibha is one of the few, rare New Zealand lawyers who has international knowledge and experience that is so important for high-net-worth clients in need of personalised advice on trusts, asset protection, estate, wealth and legacy succession planning, and family offices. Vibha is one of the international lawyers whose knowledge and experience I highly respect and value.”
