The world is becoming increasingly complex. Reporting and disclosure obligations often conflict with privacy rights. These issues arise regularly in investment and transactional matters and increasingly in connection with tax, estate and succession planning. Together with members of our internationally recognized Privacy Group, we assist our clients in identifying and navigating these rules to ensure compliance while protecting confidentiality.
Privacy
Trusts are frequently used to hold assets in connection with a private company. The principles that govern the role of trustees and directors differ, as do the potential entitlements of beneficiaries and shareholders to information and distributions. The administration and reporting for such structures are complex.
Whether an express, implied or bare trust is involved, we have the experience to help you understand your obligations and/or entitlements, avoid risks and achieve the best outcomes in all disputes.
Trusts
Ownership and Succession
BLG can assist with the tax-efficient- wealth transfers in a variety of scenarios.

Control and Conflicts of Interest

Our team is also particularly sensitive to, and experienced in, matters of solicitor-client privilege.
