Asset Protection Lawyers, Auckland
Would you like to have peace of mind regarding your money, assets, business and the future of your loved ones?
At Sellar Bone we often find that asset protection is an afterthought, something founders, families and business owners think they don’t require because there are strong bonds in the business or family relationship. Therefore, they think all arrangements are agreeable, problems and issues are something that won’t happen. However, the need for protection comes in many forms not just in the event of a relationship breakdown in business or in the home.
Protecting assets is something that needs reviewing regularly as life circumstances, relationships and business arrangements often change and, therefore, can put assets at risk of exposure. At Sellar Bone we pride ourselves on building long-term relationships with our clients and helping them to secure protection and minimize legal risk wherever we can.
Throughout your life, you will accumulate wealth and investments; asset protection seeks to put a risk mitigation strategy in place to support those assets staying in your control and not subject to potential threats in the forms of relationship breakdowns, bad business decisions and financial failure.

Knowing our clients circumstances helps ensure we give the right advice
“The biggest mistake we see business owners make, is that they think if I’m focused on my relationships and customers then nothing can go wrong. Whereas there are things that absolutely can go wrong and often outside of your control. In companies with more than one owner there can be disputes that become too difficult to resolve.
We’ve seen companies, even though they are making a lot of money, have disagreements that blow the business up – they don’t focus on the risks that exist and they hope that the relationship will carry through.”
