We have honed years of knowledge and advise clients on asset protection strategies using companies and trusts which will reduce the risk of attack to the trust being a ‘sham’, ‘illusory’ and such that the ‘true effect’ of any trust arrangement is not compromised.

Estate planning is usually key to any private trust and we advise on the legalities of all major offshore trusts and possibilities for private trusts eg BVI VISTA, Cayman (including STAR), New Zealand, Wyoming, England, Jersey, Isle of Man, Bahamas, Nevis, Cook Islands, Nevada and of course, Barbados.

Private Trust Companies are ever more popular as the need for significant businesses to react quickly to world events increases. We advise on their establishment and critically also, on their ongoing governance.

We have experience in setting up and managing companies in over 25 jurisdictions as well as in navigating the nexus of CRS, FATCA, OECD and EU initiatives which make the world that much more difficult to interpret.

We advise on what works best for our clients and are sound problem solvers.

We do take on executive and non-executive positions for clients and take our job seriously knowing the risks which can be involved. We will only ever act for you if we are fully insured to do so and it is our belief that there is no such thing as a nominee director.

Trust matters are often delicate and assisting with trusts requires patience and listening skills.

We provide protectorships for families who trust us. We act for those who require our receptive skills in family matters as well as a deep understanding of the ever-changing tax and legal landscape globally.

Finding a bank who will work well with international business is an art and requires knowledge, contacts and nimbleness.

This is perhaps the most challenging part of international structuring in the present day.

Key jurisdictions include the onshore players – US, UK, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Singapore.

We help clients emigrating for commercial and personal reasons to new home countries which make sense. In a post-Covid 19 world we expect taxes to rise and many international people to choose a new home. Countries of interest and expertise include Barbados, the UK, Portugal, the US and New Zealand. We also help clients source passports in the Caribbean and Europe.
