Global Asset Protection Mechanisms 

In an increasingly interconnected economy, asset protection frequently calls for strategies that span borders and legal systems. Bridgepointe Global Counsel advises on both offshore and domestic options, combining flexibility, lawful structuring, and a deep understanding of regional enforcement realities.

Here are just a few of the mechanisms that we work with clients on: 

Offshore Asset Protection Trusts (OAPT)
One of the most established tools for international protection, an Offshore Asset Protection Trust creates a legal firewall between your assets and potential creditors. Jurisdictions such as the Cook Islands and Nevis offer strong statutory frameworks that limit foreign judgments and shorten statutes of limitations for creditor claims. These structures can provide effective resilience when facing sudden litigation, such as disputes arising from M&A deals or professional liability exposure, while maintaining compliance with international reporting and tax obligations.

International LLC / IBC Layering
Often used alongside an OAPT, the layering of entities such as Nevis LLCs or BVI International Business Companies allows you to retain administrative control over business or investment assets while maintaining a protective separation from personal holdings. 

Investment Treaty Planning
For clients investing in politically or economically unstable jurisdictions, investment treaty planning offers a forward-looking safeguard. This approach takes not only legal sophistication but also practical understanding of how host-country enforcement interacts with international treaty law. Those are areas in which our lawyers have extensive experience across the Latin American region.

Domestic Asset Protection Trusts (DAPT)
For clients with significant U.S.-based assets, Domestic Asset Protection Trusts can offer a layer of defense. While these trusts provide a narrower shield than their offshore counterparts, they do allow you to protect your liquid or real estate assets within the United States without introducing the administrative complexities of a foreign jurisdiction.
