Our international team of attorneys provides tailored advice to high-net-worth individuals, family offices and family-run businesses, entrepreneurs, investors and trustees, helping them navigate an increasingly complex economy that extends beyond the borders of a single country.
We are often called upon to devise and implement multi-jurisdiction strategies to international private clients with commercial interests around the world, including both offensive and defensive approaches to legal issues. We work with individuals and entities in the U.S., U.K., and EU, as well as international clients with existing and potential operations and investments in those jurisdictions.
We understand that business interests and financial goals often intersect with family and personal plans, and we offer a full suite of legal advice to help our clients make decisions and execute strategies, including in environments that may be affected by instability, geopolitical changes, and short-term visibility.
We regularly advise clients on both the succession and transfer of their business interests and assets to family members. Our attorneys also have established practices focused on art law, real estate, luxury and trophy assets acquisition and management, trust and estate, tax, and wealth planning. We also help clients in crises or in other extraordinary and unexpected life events.
When circumstances become contentious or disputes arise, clients can take advantage of our deep litigation experience, which for our private clients has ranged from straightforward family/ business disputes to threats imposed by hostile governments. We have a proven track record successfully resolving business conflicts and government probes, tracing and recouping misappropriated funds, defending against asset attacks as well as complying with and navigating sanction regimes. Drawing from on-the-ground experience, our attorneys aggressively pursue strategies in both anticipation of and in response to high-stakes civil and criminal proceedings and government investigations. We understand that these disputes can often be high-profile, and our robust experience in reputation management allows us to tackle and deal with potential crisis from all angles.
