Legal Advice from Shalva KhachapuridzeWhy Is Asset Protection Important?

As businesses grow, asset protection becomes one of the top priorities. Financial difficulties, legal disputes, tax risks, police inspections, and unexpected economic crises pose serious threats to both companies and individuals. KH & PARTNERS offers comprehensive legal asset protection to safeguard your business and personal assets at both the national and international levels.
From 2020 to 2024, more than 70% of asset losses in national and international court disputes were linked to insufficient legal protection. This underscores the necessity of professional legal support.

What Is Asset Protection and Why Is It Important?
Mr. Shalva, what is asset protection, and why should this issue be a priority for business owners and individuals?
Asset protection involves the legal safeguarding of both business and personal assets to shield individuals from creditors, legal disputes, and other financial risks. Many business owners fail to address this issue in time, leading to severe problems in the future.
What are the most common legal mechanisms for asset protection?
The key mechanisms for asset protection include legal structuring of assets, proper ownership formation, using international corporate structures to ensure legal security, safeguarding financial assets through tax strategies, asset protection under criminal law regulations, as well as developing sound legal strategies in court and arbitration proceedings.
