Why Asset Protection Is a Leadership Essential: Lessons from the NC-CBA Event

Why Asset Protection Is a Leadership Essential: Lessons from the NC-CBA Event

 Building a business is hard work. Protecting it should be just as intentional.

 This week, I had the privilege of attending the monthly networking event hosted by the North Carolina Chinese Business Association (NC-CBA), featuring an outstanding talk by Fiona Wang of Wang Law Firm.

Fiona delivered an important reminder: proactive asset protection is critical for business owners and entrepreneurs.

It’s not enough to focus on growth. We must also focus on safeguarding what we’re building.

Key insights from the session:

🔹 Protecting personal and business assets is non-negotiable.

🔹 Smart legal structures matter at every stage of business growth.

🔹 Resilience isn’t reactive—it’s built intentionally.

It was also a real pleasure to meet members of the RTP Chinese business community. As someone who worked with Chinese businesses in the UK and China during my legal career in London, it reminded me of the powerful role global partnerships play in business success.

Protect your future. Build your resilience. That’s leadership.
