WLA Co-Practice for High Net Worth Individuals

High net worth.
Complex. Global.
One co-practice team.

High net worth individuals with cross-border lives face the most complex personal legal environment of any client group. Residency in multiple jurisdictions, assets in many more, family structures that cross legal systems, succession planning across different inheritance regimes — all of it requires coherent advice that crosses borders as freely as the client does.

What WLA co-practice gives HNW clients

Your affairs. Coherent.
Across every border.

HNW clients with global lives cannot afford fragmented legal advice. A residency decision made without coordinated tax advice is a mistake. A succession plan drafted in one Practice without considering forced heirship rules in another is incomplete. WLA co-practice addresses every dimension simultaneously.

01
Cross-Border Succession Planning
WLA co-practice coordinates succession planning across every jurisdiction where you hold assets or have family connections — one coherent plan, every legal system.
Succession
02
International Residency & Tax
Residency planning requires simultaneous expertise in immigration and tax in both origin and destination jurisdictions. WLA provides both together.
Residency
03
Multi-Jurisdiction Asset Protection
Protecting assets across borders — trusts, foundations, holding structures — designed and implemented coherently across every relevant jurisdiction.
Wealth
04
International Family Law Co-Practice
Cross-border family matters — divorce, financial remedies, international parental arrangements — require co-ordinated legal strategy across all jurisdictions involved.
Family
05
Pre-Emigration Planning Co-Practice
Leaving a jurisdiction tax-efficiently while entering another correctly — WLA co-practice coordinates the entire departure and arrival plan simultaneously.

From the client
My legal affairs span six countries. WLA co-practice finally gave me one team that understood all of them — and could give me advice that actually worked across all of them at the same time.

How WLA co-practice works
01
Confidential brief
HNW co-practice begins with a confidential briefing — no forms, no bureaucracy. Tell WLA about your situation across all relevant jurisdictions.
02
Holistic team assembly
WLA assembles specialists in each relevant jurisdiction — private client lawyers, tax advisers, family lawyers — and coordinates them as one team.
03
One engagement, all matters
All matters handled under one co-practice engagement. One point of contact. No contradictions between jurisdictions.
04
Ongoing co-practice
HNW clients benefit most from an ongoing WLA co-practice relationship — one team across all jurisdictions, permanently available.
