§ Who we serve
Finance and Private Equity Professionals
Fund managers, partners, and traders with complex compensation structures and regulatory exposure need a structure that sits entirely outside the reach of U.S. enforcement.
Business Owners & Executives
New York's dense commercial landscape and active plaintiff's bar create persistent litigation risk for executives with meaningful personal wealth.
Real Estate Investors
New York real estate creates concentrated, illiquid wealth. Offshore structuring protects that concentration from judgment creditors without disrupting ownership.
High-Net-Worth Individuals
New York has no domestic asset protection trust statute. For New York residents, offshore structuring is the only robust path to creditor insulation.
§ Local context
New York has no domestic asset protection trust statute and is one of the most litigious jurisdictions in the country. Offshore structuring is the only reliable path to meaningful creditor insulation for New York residents.
A Cook Islands Trust is the only structure that places assets fully outside U.S. court jurisdiction — not just harder to reach, but genuinely unreachable under Cook Islands law. It’s the same structure we use for every client, regardless of location.
§ Why Blake Harris Law
One structure, done right
We do one thing — Cook Islands Trusts. That focus means faster execution, fewer surprises, and structures that hold under real litigation pressure.
Offshore and domestic coordination
We work directly with FSA-licensed Cook Islands trustees and handle the U.S.-side legal work, compliance, and IRS reporting coordination.
Established trustee relationships
Long-standing relationships with licensed Cook Islands trustees mean faster KYC, reliable ongoing administration, and no guesswork on jurisdiction.
Confidential by design
Every engagement is handled with strict confidentiality. We don't discuss client names, structures, or asset details outside the attorney-client relationship.
