International Immigration & Tax Planning

We can provide advice on the application of the UK's statutory residence test and any split year tax treatment that might apply depending upon our clients' circumstances.

We can advise on the optimum structures for your wealth, including trusts, foundations, usufructs, partnerships and corporates depending on which country you choose to move to and work with our network of international lawyers to ensure that the structures work from a UK and local perspective in the event that the move out of the UK is a short-term move.

We deal with all aspects of inheritance tax planning and have particular expertise in advising British expats on managing their potential UK inheritance tax exposure.

We can assist with the establishing of dual-qualified charitable entities.

We have expertise working with favoured counsel across the European Union to provide our clients with an integrated and seamless immigration offering. We work across all European countries, in line with the needs and interests of our clients. We currently have a particular focus on Italy, Malta, Monaco, Switzerland and Portugal.

We advise on the full spectrum of US immigration law, including investor-based applications such as EB-5 and E2, and applications for Green Card status and US citizenship.

We work closely with our offices in Singapore and Hong Kong for immigration services in these key locations. We also work closely with our family advisory business, MDR Mayfair Dubai, for immigration services in the UAE. We are well accustomed to both the legal and cultural nuances involved when advising our clients around the world, and our extensive network of trusted firms enables us to work alongside our international preferred counsel to deliver exceptional results for our clients.
