Your firm and the investments you make in its people, partners and founders are strategic and deliberate; protecting these assets means protecting your investment. Hedging that risk is a sound and clear necessity. Making sure this is done professionally, within current regulation and cost effectively, is paramount. Our Financial Services and Executive Protection can help.

Why Partner with EPIC

  • Written partnership agreement dilemmas may arise as a result of the Partnership Act; current tax regulations and spousal legislation will apply to regulate what happens to those assets
  • Your current agreements may not be properly worded to deal with the transfer of your interest in the firm and its income and, when applicable, carried interest
  • It’s common to see a significant number of these arrangements not following key regulations and legislative guidelines
  • These items can cause litigation risk and will cause taxation issues if not followed, many do not understand the nuances of these rules
  • Avoid potential litigation from interested parties
  • Carried interest for partners of a fund is illiquid and creates potential issues for the fund, family or other interested parties
  • Trusts may not deal with the issue of a structured partnership agreement as you believe
