Managing international assets or a cross-border estate with overseas holdings is increasingly prevalent and increasingly complex. There are different jurisdictions to consider alongside tax and inheritance implications, particularly with international tax planning and wealth succession.
A critical element of an effective wealth management strategy is having the right legal advice to ensure that everything works smoothly and that efficient structures are put in place. Our team has considerable experience in dealing with international holdings for private clients, including individuals, families and entrepreneurs.
