International Private Clients

Overview

As international families increasingly seek to move people and assets to the US, sophisticated cross-border tax planning and asset structuring is essential. We advise international families and worldwide advisors to minimize taxes, rationalize asset holdings, and assure financial and legal security across multiple jurisdictions.

We offer practical, comprehensive, and tailored advice to families navigating multiple tax laws, property regimes, and legal systems as they move people, financial assets, and business interests across international borders. Very often, we act as a coordinator of a family’s advisors around the world.

Our clients include:

• US citizens and taxpayers living or investing abroad
• International families with US connections, such as family members and assets located in the US
• International attorneys and other advisors with US-connected private clients
• Financial institutions serving US persons or which otherwise are exposed to US regulation
• Family offices with complex US tax and legal issues

With our deep international knowledge and sensitivity to local laws and customs, our service offering is strengthened by Nixon Peabody’s world-class Immigration, Global Tax, Nonprofit Organizations, Litigation, and Global Business practices. We also deliver a full suite of fiduciary services, acting as trustees and executors and providing asset management and custodial services from our wholly owned subsidiary, Nixon Peabody Trust Company.
