Defender Capital
Board of Advisors
defender capital is guided by a board of advisors that we like to refer to as the “board of wisdom.”
We work with clients across the United States, including public and private company executives, national law firm practice group leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners. As a private, family-run firm, we answer to our clients, not shareholders. We have near-perfect client retention and are happy to provide references. We encourage viewing our Board of Advisors, comprised of a few of whom we serve.
