Careful planning through wills, trust structures, companies and the use of double tax treaty provisions can ensure that individuals who are taxable in more than one jurisdiction are able to mitigate their liabilities and avoid double taxation. Our practice is focused on advice on the re-structuring, modernisation and simplification of our clients’ global wealth structures to provide optimal tax savings in tune with current UK tax law.

We have a wide range of contacts in offshore tax havens, principally Bermuda, Cayman and the Channel Islands. Whether we work with these contacts or our clients’ own advisers, a detailed knowledge of offshore jurisdictions allows us to set up the most flexible and efficient structures for our clients.

We also work with a number of professional firms, financial institutions and trustees in jurisdictions with complex taxation regimes, principally the United States. In working with these contacts, we have developed an in-depth knowledge of the issues that arise in cross-border tax planning.
