Quijano & Associates‘ private wealth practice comes highly recommended for its ‘excellent availability to deal with the client’s needs and concerns‘ and ‘the fact that the firm provides a service in the same time zone‘, with a presence in the BVI, the Bahamas, Belize, the Seychelles, Hong Kong and Switzerland. The practice covers a broad swathe of issues affecting international HNWIs, including the formation of companies and foundations, trust services and post-incorporation matters such as tax and compliance advice. The firm has recently expanded its offering by introducing a portal to allow clients to directly submit annual economic substance declarations and launching an audit and projects department which ensures compliance with new regulatory requirements. Managing partner Julio Quijano, who is singled out as a ‘great lawyer‘, leads the practice alongside Jaime Sánchez; both are well versed in private wealth law and estate planning.
