Family Legacy · The 6 + 1 Model

An entrepreneur's family risk is never a single point — it spans six dimensions.
I do one thing: diagnose first, then prescribe, to protect your family legacy.

+ One: Beyond the six dimensions, a dedicated focus on Greater Bay Area & cross-border risks — cross-border marriage, cross-border inheritance, offshore assets and CRS.
MY MISSION

Guardian of the Entrepreneur's Family Legacy

I am Zhao Danyang, a private wealth lawyer devoted to the field of private wealth. I believe true wealth is not the numbers on a balance sheet, but a family legacy that can safely weather cycles and pass to the next generation. Drawing on a dual foundation in law and finance, I help entrepreneurs identify risks early, optimise equity governance, establish family trusts and plan cross-border succession — so that everything they have built is not destroyed by risk, nor lost in transition.
