  • international clients arriving and leaving the UK;
  • structuring and co-ordinating the affairs of international families whether or not based in the UK, including the provision of cross-border tax and legal advice;
  • structuring of real estate assets, in particular for clients domiciled and/or resident outside the UK;
  • advising entrepreneurs at all stages in the life cycle of their business;
  • employee benefit trusts;
  • advice on ‘disguised remuneration’ arrangements;
  • onshore and offshore pension schemes;
  • regulatory law, including compliance with an increasing raft of reporting regimes; and
  • immigration.
