Joshua Rubenstein, national chair of Katten's Private Wealth
Department, is editor of the first edition of the Law Over Borders
Comparative Legal Guide Private Client. He, along with
Private Wealth partner Jonathan Byer, also authored one of the
book's chapters covering the United States.
Unlike other comparative legal guides, Private Client
provides the latest practical comparisons of tax and non-tax
developments for the private client profession. Each chapter covers
a jurisdiction with information on tax, estate and personal
planning, administration of planning structures and litigation, and
any controversy involving high net-worth families and their
structuring.
In the chapter they authored, Josh and Jonathan wrote about the
tax structure in the United States, especially income and transfer
taxes, the rate of taxation, the differences between taxation at
the state and federal levels, and recent tax and non-tax
developments.
