Asset-protection attorneys
Klueger & Stein
Klueger & Stein practises asset protection law from Los Angeles and now presents itself on the same website under the name Aliant LLP. The firm designs legal structures intended to place assets out of reach of plaintiffs, creditors and government agencies, and works with business owners, real estate investors and developers, physicians, executives and high-net-worth families.
Engagements follow a four-stage method set out on the services page: a risk assessment of the asset portfolio, business interests and liability exposure; a custom protection structure balancing legal protection against control, access and tax treatment; implementation covering entity formation, asset transfers and trust establishment; and periodic review as laws and portfolios change.
The work spans domestic and offshore planning, including offshore trusts and entity structuring, estate planning and wealth transfer, and litigation or crisis planning started while a threat is already active. Published case summaries describe offshore structures used against personal guaranty claims, a government agency bank freeze and malpractice exposure. The firm says it works with only a few clients at a time.
The office is at 16000 Ventura Blvd, Suite 1000, Los Angeles, open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, with a stated same-day response to all inquiries. Fees are not published. The Aliant LLP name used throughout the site does not match the name on this listing, so a buyer should confirm which entity an engagement letter names.
