Asset protection involves designing systems for the protection of client assets from third-party claims or other threats.
Asset extraction refers, essentially, to the extraction and preservation of client assets from circumstances in which they are at risk or where their value cannot be realized. This area of practice involves problem solving skills which reach beyond the purview of straight lawyering. This area of practice often also involves import-export issues. This area can also require diplomatic and language skills, together with the ability to insert oneself in a foreign culture for a period, understand that culture and its systems and institutions, and work with it to achieve client objectives.
