Alan R. Eber is the co-founder and chairman of the Rampart Consulting Group and the firm's chief advisor on client cases.

He is the original author of “Asset Protection Strategies” and author of “Private Placement Life Insurance & Other Asset Protection Strategies”

He received his Juris Doctorate in 1968, his Master of Law in Taxation (LL.M.) from New York University, and studied international taxation at the University of Brussels.

For over 40 years, Mr. Eber practiced law in the field of asset protection, tax protection, and wealth strategies. He is a pioneer in the integration of complex asset protective trusts with Private Placement Life Insurance (“PPLI”), Private Placement Variable Annuity (“PPVA”), and Captive Insurance.

Mr. Eber is a nationally recognized authority on using offshore trusts and estate planning strategies for wealth preservation and succession planning. He serves as a trusted consultant to high-net-worth individuals and families.

Mr. Eber distinguishes himself from many peers in that his estate planning recommendations are integrated with asset protection and tax objectives. By educating his clients on the tax benefits available with trusts and other private insurance vehicles, his clients achieve both tax savings and wealth preservation. Such benefits include protection from divorce, creditors, or litigation exposure and the maximization of wealth passed to heirs upon a generational transfer.

Mr. Eber’s books on basic asset protection, family limited partnerships, and offshore planning were adopted by the Education Foundation of California Society of Certified Public Accountants (“Foundation”) and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for use in California and throughout the United States for professional education classes.
