Specialist tax and trust advice
GFOS is a specialist law firm which acts for high net worth families keen to protect their wealth .
Caroline Garnham, CEO of GFOS, is a lawyer and tax specialist with decades of experience in guiding families to the solution which best suits them and their family. In our experience, families need peace of mind that their assets are protected whether from tax authorities, family members, creditors or any other third parties.
But, GFOS does not just provide a solution, and let the family get on with it. We want to make sure our clients get the right advice or product at the right price for their family office, asset management services and advisers. If the family needs guidance on how and who to do this, we can, through our network of experts, carry out for you an advice and asset audit, to be discussed by your executive board, which can then decide what action, if any, to take and we will assist you in implementing it.
UHNW international families have never before been so exposed to investigation and attack. Governments have never before been in need of revenue to fill the hole created by Covid-19. They need to be prepared. As from 2018, sensitive private financial information is to be exchanged across the globe, to and from tax authorities. Governments will use this information to investigate and raise revenue.
At GFOS we understand these risks and the ways governments and unscrupulous parties - whether within the family or outside, will try to undermine offshore wealth ownership structures. But through our understanding we are able to protect and advise.
GFOS will guide you and your executive board on how best to minimise the scope of an investigation, and how and who is best to deal with any and all threats.
We cannot change the past, but we can put you in the right position to deal with the present and the future.
