We assist in designing and establishing and advise on bespoke domestic, offshore and cross border tax efficient wealth management structures, including advising on private trust companies and limited partnerships. We also advise on investment strategies, insurance products and private equity structuring including tax-transparent vehicles and tax-advantaged vehicles. We also provide experienced advice to high net worth individuals on changing tax residence and domicile planning, pre-immigration and expatriation planning
