Why Now

Wealth is built, stored, and attacked differently now.

A generation of wealth now lives in digital form, moves across borders, and faces threats the old playbook was never built for. The frameworks are racing to catch up — NIST has launched a dedicated initiative to set standards for AI agents, acknowledging that existing security models were never designed for systems that reason, decide, and act on their own.

The attack is now run by AI. The response has to be run by counsel.

The threat has changed

AI no longer just advises the attacker — it runs the attack, prices the ransom from your own records, and weaponizes your regulatory exposure. A modern breach is a two-front crisis: the attacker threatens to expose you, while the law requires you to notify regulators and clients yourself.

We built the firm for this

Three practices that meet the new landscape end to end — protecting the wealth you’ve built, moving it across borders, and recovering it when it’s taken.

Practices

Three practices. One point of accountability.

Wealth under threat rarely respects practice-area lines. You bring the situation; we bring the right people and own the outcome — from protecting what you’ve built to recovering what’s taken.

Who We Serve

Our Clients

We advise companies vulnerable to cyberattacks, founders, wealth advisors, digital asset innovators, and private individuals.

Our practice was built for complex matters — the problems other firms decline because the answer isn’t obvious.

Discreet, practical legal solutions where wealth is at risk and judgment matters more than precedent.

The Model

You hire Max. Max brings the bench.

You retain one attorney and one point of contact. Behind him: the people who ran the systems your adversaries exploit, and the institutions that execute — assembled around your specific matter, all under privilege.

Who Max brings in

Former federal cyber-enforcement

Retired FBI and IC3 cybercrime agents who spent their careers on the other side of these cases — investigative capability a standard firm can’t offer.

Who Max brings in

Institutional specialists

Forensic accountants, offshore and trust execution partners, immigration, tax, and licensing counsel — matched to the problem, not a template.

Your role

One point of accountability

You don’t manage a committee of vendors. Max originates the strategy, coordinates the bench, and owns the result.

The advantage

Privilege, intact

The entire response runs under attorney-client privilege — so what you share to solve the problem strengthens your position instead of creating exposure.

By the Numbers

A track record clients trust with high-stakes matters.
