Practice Areas

We focus on the most appropriate planning for our international clients addressing their cross-border estate, tax and business matters. We utilize our vast experience working for international financial institutions in assisting private banking clients from Europe, Asia and all the major countries of Latin America, with particular emphasis to Brazilian and Mexican clients. In this constant changing environment it is crucial to remain current with respect to new tax legislation and compliance obligations that affect the private banking sector and high net worth individuals. For this reason we are members of international tax and estate planning organizations and habitual participants in professional congresses which provide us a valuable source of knowledge and a way to expand our network of reputable attorneys, tax professionals and other service providers located in our clients’ countries of residence.

We provide our clients with extensive guidance and support for all domestic and international real estate matters ranging from cross-border buying and selling, investment transactions, and advantageous tax planning strategies to manage the complexities of multinational negotiations. Our goal is to simplify potentially daunting dealings for our clients while pursuing the most advantageous outcome. In this area, it is vital the attorney’s early involvement with any business deal to avoid future negative surprises. Notwithstanding the generalized practice to hold real estate in the US through a foreign corporation, this may not be the most suitable approach to the client’s needs. Each client’s circumstances and objectives must be carefully analyzed before designing the appropriate structure.
