Advice without borders.
Wealth and business are increasingly global, and tax advice has to be too. We advise UK-connected individuals and businesses whose affairs extend beyond the UK.
The difficulty
A decision made in one country creates consequences in another
International matters become complex quickly when individuals, families or businesses hold interests across more than one jurisdiction — which is why the advice needs to come before the arrangements are put in place, not after.
Planning of this kind requires more than considering each jurisdiction independently. We look at the whole structure, identify how the elements interact, and work alongside overseas advisers to reach a coordinated position rather than a set of separately correct answers.

International structuring
A structure is only as good as the substance behind it.
How a matter is approached from the outset has an important bearing on its direction and eventual outcome. We read the letter for what it actually is — which power, which years, what deadline is running and what HMRC already knows — before anything is answered.
international
Some exposure is best simply accepted
Where the projected liability is modest against the cost and complexity of planning, we say so. That answer is free.
