Segregate operating companies, intellectual property, and cash reserves. Use intercompany agreements with arm’s-length terms, board minutes, and clean accounting to avoid veil piercing. When assets live in separate boxes, plaintiffs must fight uphill, often settling earlier for rational amounts.
Trusts protect best when established calmly, long before storms. We explain grantor choices, powers of appointment, spendthrift clauses, and situs advantages, then coordinate funding steps. Timing and intent documentation are everything, helping courts see prudence rather than last-minute evasion.
Insurance is the only defense paying plaintiffs to go away. We benchmark limits, exclusions, tail coverage, cyber riders, and claims support quality. The objective is negotiating leverage and continuity, ensuring liquidity appears exactly when legal processes become slow and uncertain.
Collect less, share less, and separate identities by purpose. Use aliases for vendors, unique emails per bank, and dedicated phone numbers for high-risk portals. When breach notifications arrive, rotation is quick, damage is limited, and your real life remains pleasantly quiet.
Move sensitive conversations to end-to-end encrypted channels with disappearing messages and verified safety numbers. Maintain signed approvals for wire changes through secure portals, never email. These habits foil social engineering, reduce vendor fraud, and reassure bankers auditing your internal controls after stressful incidents.
Start with full-disk encryption, strong device PINs, auto-lock timers, and biometric controls. Add DNS filtering, patch discipline, phishing drills, and offline, versioned backups. Passwords graduate to passkeys and hardware tokens, reducing recovery headaches and neutralizing credential stuffing campaigns targeting your institutions.
Select banks that welcome your structure and geography, then maintain tidy profiles, consistent narratives, and proof of funds. Proactive updates on ownership changes or travel patterns build trust. Bankers appreciate zero surprises, rewarding transparency with smoother onboarding and faster exception handling.
