I'm passionate about helping people protect their assets from lawsuits and creditors using Offshore Asset Protection Trusts and other techniques. I also provide advice on how to move your business offshore to a low-tax or no tax jurisdiction
I have wide international experience, having lived and worked in the UK, Finland, Amsterdam and Bermuda. Most recently I served as the Senior Crown Counsel and acting Solicitor-General of Bermuda.
I'm also a tenacious fighter for taxpayers when they have been wrongly assessed, treated unfairly, are facing an audit or criminal prosecution, or have unreported income and need advice on what to do.
