Increased transparency and extensive Know Your Customer procedures are sweeping the globe. What has this meant for traditional offshore jurisdictions? For onshore jurisdictions? And which jurisdictions should we consider as ‘in transition’? What could current changes mean in the future? On which 'shores' are our clients are located, and is that the correct place for them? And for us? Do tax benefits and asset security really outweigh compliance burdens? Or is it time to repatriate and, going forward, gravitate towards onshore accounts and structures?

Using experts from various jurisdictions, and with the active participation of you all, this session will explore (and grade) the advantages and disadvantages of the new treatment of onshore and offshore jurisdiction, and check all that is in between these two, to encourage new thinking as to where and how to place structures, assets, and people.
