Our Estate Planning and Trusts practice provides comprehensive legal advice to individuals, families, and business owners on wealth management, succession and asset protection in Lebanon and abroad. We help clients structure their estates, preserve family wealth and ensure a smooth transfer of assets across generations while complying with local laws and international best practices.

We work closely with trusted international service providers who establish trusts and other fiduciary structures, including in jurisdictions such as New Zealand, while we manage all legal aspects, ensuring that each arrangement is fully compliant, enforceable and aligned with our clients’ strategic objectives. This collaborative approach allows us to deliver end-to-end, comprehensive estate planning solutions.
