About

Provided by Hassans

As the leading private client lawyers in Gibraltar, we have assisted countless high net worth individuals (HNWI) and their families to establish in Gibraltar.  We are able to advise on everything our private clients need, including securing residency, transferring assets, taxes, permits, property, re-domiciling corporate vehicles and setting up trusts.

While we naturally focus on Gibraltar’s competitive legal and fiscal system, our expertise covers a broad range of jurisdictions. We are able to create bespoke structures for private clients establishing trusts and companies both inside and outside of Gibraltar, if required.  

HNWI, Re-domiciling and Trusts

Many of our clients choose Gibraltar as their home in order to benefit from a competitive tax regime and English common law. It is also an ideal trust location, as trusts established in Gibraltar enjoy tax-free status, provided they are set up by non-residents exclusively for the benefit of non-residents or people with High Net Worth Individual (HNWI) status.

Hassans’ fiduciary services are carried out through our subsidiary Line Trust Corporation Limited. Our team is widely experienced in protecting the wealth of investors and entrepreneurs, both local and international. Hassans’ subsidiary, Line Trust Corporation Limited executes all the duties of a professional, licensed and regulated trustee.

We frequently advise clients on the best ways to manage and pass on their wealth.
