CONSULTING SERVICES

Our extensive network of professionals across the globe is available to our clients for specialist advice.

The experience and practical nature of our team means we can add constructively to your project or special development.

Professional Protector Services

It is important to have an independent professional Protector as part of your asset protection plan. Appointing a trustee you have never met working from a foreign jurisdiction is often a daunting task. As professional Protectors we act as your eyes and ears ensuring your appointed trustee adheres to the terms of their appointment. Look at it as a watchdog service that gives you peace of mind. We have experience that spans nearly 30 years in trustee administration services and therefore offer a proven track record in providing oversight in accordance to the terms of the trust deed. We have in-depth experience of trust litigation matters and can give comfort to both professional advisor and client alike that the duties of a Protector as provided for in trust deeds will be performed only with the best interests of the settlor and beneficiaries in mind.

While we specialise in trusts established in the Cook Islands, we can accept appointment as a Protector of trusts domiciled in other jurisdictions.

Trust Litigation Services

We have a proven track record in trust litigation matters. We make a promise to our clients that not only will we walk alongside you throughout your journey, we will stand and deliver when and if required. It is a promise that sets us apart from our competitors and makes us incredibly proud of who we are and what we stand for. We offer the services of a specialist legal unit based out of New Zealand and the Cook Islands dedicated to trust litigation. If storm clouds are gathering, you can count on us to step up to the plate when you need us the most.

Digital Innovation

Digital innovation within the financial services industry has opened a new world of opportunities and possibilities. Whether it's identity verification, AML solutions or adoption of disruptive technologies such as blockchain, we have the business expertise to help.

Ora Partners can help you scope your project and take it from blueprint to reality. You can depend upon our proven expertise in digital technology, and rely on us to be both creative and logical. We'll pursue the most effective way of achieving your goals and we'll pose challenging, pragmatic questions as we go.

AML/Compliance

Anti-money laundering and compliance programmes have become an integral part of any credible business which conducts financial transactions. It has never been more important to follow meticulous KYC (Know Your Customer) protocols. We offer a proven platform as well as experience in the area of regulatory oversight and compliance.

Robert MathewsAsset Protection, California, USA

I am a USA tax and trust attorney specialising in international and cross border tax and estate planning for 30 years. I have had the pleasure to work with Puai since we started our careers together in 1993. We are both the same age and not only have we worked together on many professional endeavors but also we have developed a strong bond and friendship. I have gotten to know his family and him mine as well and I consider myself a lucky, fortunate person to have been able to develop such a strong professional and personal bond with Puai over the last several decades. Puai is honest, hard working and sincere. He and his team always handle my clients with the utmost professionalism and respect. I cannot recommend Puai and the Ora team highly enough.
