Why You Should Attend

As individuals and business taxpayers increasingly globalize their personal and commercial activity, they expose themselves to greater legal and tax obligations. Legal advisers must consult their clients with a complete understanding of applicable tax regimes and multijurisdictional issues. Whether their clients are United States persons with assets or beneficiaries overseas, non-U.S. persons with ties to the U.S., or business entities with a mix of transnational operations and domesticities, it is incumbent upon advisers to remain vigilant in learning how new and evolving tax structures affect their clients.

Comprehensive international tax and estate planning must consider marital property and inheritance laws, immigration and nationality laws, income, estate and gift taxes, reporting requirements, trusts and foundations, and any potential for conflicts of laws. This range of factors must be considered within the context of a global progression toward heightened reporting requirements, increased transparency and more stringent tax enforcement and disclosure. More than ever, ignorance is no defense.
