International tax and asset protection planning has a tradition which dates back many centuries and has earned its place as the most effective financial planning option for High Net Worth Individuals as well as Fortune 500 companies worldwide. The protection and flexibility it affords makes it ideally suited to the professional athlete's unique needs, particularly given the relative uncertainty associated with athletic careers.

As one begins to accumulate wealth, the first consideration that arises is to ensure that it is safeguarded. Once secured, focus can then turn to strategies which will enhance and increase the value of accumulated assets.

Planning at the international level places the client in a position where he is able to take advantage of the more favorable tax and corporate laws in international jurisdictions and access the numerous opportunities available in the international financial marketplace. A properly structured plan will also provide the flexibility required to quickly adapt to any changes which may affect one's finances, whether they are personal, economic or political.

International Asset Protection

International Asset Protection is the fundamental core of financial planning, and if implemented correctly will provide clients with the comfort of knowing that earnings are fully protected from any future financial misfortune that may arise due to frivolous lawsuits or liability claims, and that these assets will be available to them to meet their future financial needs.

Financial harm is often unforseen and can originate from a variety of sources. Early planning is essential, as it may be too late to fully protect assets once legal action has been initiated. Although asset protection strategies are available at the domestic level, none will protect assets as effectively as an international asset protection plan.

International Tax Planning

International tax planning encompasses a variety of legal disciplines such as corporate law, tax law, estate law and international law, and is the most effective means of minimizing and deferring tax liabilities. It seeks to expose the clients' assets or accumulated wealth to the most favorable and suitable tax laws that can be found in international jurisdictions.

Again care must be taken to ensure that strategies are properly implemented, and take into account the client's residency and citizenship status and any tax laws that may apply in this regard.
