PRACTICES

Private Wealth & Private Clients

Our Private Wealth and Private Clients Department serves high net worth individuals (HNWIs) seeking strategic and customized advice on complex national and international investment opportunities, estate and succession planning, family office, trusts, tax, dispute resolution, compliance and philanthropic matters.  With over 120 years of service, we pride ourselves on our day-to-day VIP service, attention to detail and confidentiality.

Estate planning and asset management requires expert knowledge of local and international trends and scenarios.  Our professionals have significant experience in advising HNWIs with global portfolios including legal considerations for tax planning and tax reporting.  Our superb relations with law firms throughout the region enables us to seamlessly support cross-border strategies, and our network of international contacts and alliances positions us to act as lead counsel for HNWIs active at the global level.

Members of our team are specialized in family business, trained and certified to assist business families and business owners throughout the various stages of their evolution. We focus on prevention – designing, planning and implementing tailored family business strategies – and we also advise on conflict management, dispute resolution and litigation when required.  Our expertise covers matters ranging from corporate governance to estate and inheritance planning. Team members also counsel HNWIs on family law matters, including separation and divorce and related asset management.

As a truly full-service firm, our team provides a one-stop shop for HNWIs active across a range of industries and with wide-ranging interests.  We work with our art law lawyers to provide guidance on issues ranging from certificates of origin and intellectual property to import/export and customs, and with our sports law experts for players, agents and owners.  For private clients interested in philanthropic contributions and investments, we work with our impact investment team to provide integrated advice on social investments or donations.  Our trusts and trust services experts provide integrated advice on structuring and creating trusts in Argentina.

Our firm is also the best placed in Argentina to advise on transparency and compliance issues, as the pioneer among full-service law firms to offer integrated compliance and corporate crime services.  We offer guidance to HNWIs on business integrity and ethics, anti-money laundering and the financing of terrorism, risk analysis and design, and asset tracking and recovery.  We also have vast experience in internal investigations and criminal proceedings.

Members of our private wealth and private clients team have been recognized by Chambers Latin America, The Legal 500, Latin Lawyer 250, LACCA Approved, Who’s Who Legal and GIR 100, and many have studied or worked abroad.
