About Us
Look, creditors can be relentless. Lawsuits show up when you least expect them. And suddenly your assets feel vulnerable. That's exactly why Sanctuary Protection exists. We've spent 19 years building fortifications around people's financial lives — the kind that actually work. Not some magical loophole nonsense. Real, legally-sound strategies that put distance between you and aggressive creditors. Our approach? Honest conversations about what you own, what's at risk, and how we protect it. Because your peace of mind matters more than our pitch.
Over time, we’ve built a reputation for reliability, quality, and clear communication. We treat each project as a partnership and aim for outcomes that last.

Our Story
Started in 2006 by a frustrated attorney who kept watching good people lose everything despite legal options they didn't know existed. That frustration became fuel. We began as a small operation in Graz, working directly with clients facing creditor pressure and lawsuit threats. Word spread. Referrals came. But we never scaled to the point of losing that personal touch. Today we're 23 people strong, still operating from our Hauptstraße location, still treating each case like it matters (because it does). We've protected assets for 847 families across Austria and beyond.

Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Brutal Honesty
We tell you what's possible and what's not. No false promises. No exaggerated claims. If a strategy won't work for your situation, you'll hear that upfront. Transparency builds trust, and trust is what gets you through complicated times.
Fight Like Hell
Your battle is our battle. We don't coast through cases or settle for mediocre outcomes. Every motion, every filing, every conversation with opposing counsel gets our full intensity. You're not just another file number here.
Know Your People
We learn who you're before we build your protection plan. Your business, your family structure, your fears — these details matter. Mass-produced legal work fails because it ignores real life. We don't make that mistake.
Stay Sharp
Laws change. Court decisions shift things. Economic conditions evolve. We track all of it constantly so your protection strategy doesn't become obsolete. Staying relevant means staying educated — always.
Our Approach
Our approach combines proven methods with modern tools. We start with discovery, align on goals, plan clearly, and execute with quality checks at every step.
