Peter A. Ryan, J.D. — Global Asset Protection Strategist

Strategic. Discreet. Uncompromising.

Peter Ryan is an attorney with over 20 years of experience advising ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, closely held business owners, and cross-border investors on wealth preservation, international trust structuring, and multi-jurisdictional asset protection.

He is one of very few professionals globally with direct, hands-on expertise structuring Cook Islands Trusts — the most litigation-tested offshore asset protection structure available to Americans — alongside the entity governance layers and Swiss and Liechtenstein private banking relationships that complete an integrated, multi-generational wealth defense system.

Peter holds a Juris Doctor from Tulane University Law School and a Master of Arts in International Relations from the University of Nottingham, England. He is fluent in English and French, with working knowledge of German — a genuine advantage when navigating European banking and fiduciary relationships.

A Globally Tested Model

Peter’s structures are not theoretical. They have been tested under real litigation pressure — and they have held. In one documented case, a Cook Islands Trust withstood a $750,000 personal judgment: the trustee resisted U.S. court orders in full compliance with Cook Islands law, and the client’s assets remained entirely protected. In another, a $1.2 million lawsuit against a Texas real estate investor was isolated to a single LLC within the trust structure — all other holdings untouched.

These outcomes are the product of precision engineering, not luck.

Trusted Partners

Peter works alongside a select group of globally credentialed partners:

• A licensed Cook Islands trustee company and fiduciary, among the most respected trustees in the Cook Islands jurisdiction.
• An SEC‑registered and FINMA‑licensed independent Swiss wealth‑management firm in Zurich, specializing in North American clients and ranked among Switzerland’s leading independent asset managers.

Every Bespoke client benefits from direct introductions to these partners as part of their engagement.
