Transformation and Transparency:

Program Description

The use of offshore trusts has risen dramatically in the last few years.  Several offshore jurisdictions go out of their way to make themselves more attractive to outside investors, and many investors see offshore trusts as a safety net.  But is the grass really greener on the other side? This teleconference and live audio webcast will examine the confluence of global events and the use of offshore trusts, including:

• How offshore trusts work
• Asset protection
• Reporting requirements and penalties
• U.S. attitude toward offshore trusts
• Non-U.S. perspective on offshore trusts
• Use for clients in civil law jurisdictions
