Investment Protection & Structuring
Structures and treaty protection for capital invested across borders.
Protecting capital requires more than compliance. It requires structure, foresight and the ability to anticipate risks before they become liabilities. We help investors, families and companies organise, protect and position their assets so they remain secure and efficient across jurisdictions.
Our work combines transactional structuring with experience in investor–state disputes, so the structures we design are built to hold up if they are ever challenged.

Frequently asked questions
What is investment treaty protection?
Bilateral and multilateral investment treaties protect foreign investors against unfair treatment and expropriation by the host state, and usually allow the investor to bring a claim in international arbitration. Structuring an investment through the right country can secure that protection.
When should I think about protecting a foreign investment?
Before you invest. Treaty protection and ownership structures are far easier to put in place at the start than after a dispute has begun.
Do you advise on investments in Central Asia?
Yes. Investment structuring and protection for investments in Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and the wider region is a core part of our practice.
