International Finance Corporation LLC
The core discipline
We design the trusts, foundations and holding architecture that keep private capital intact across people, borders and decades.
A family balance sheet that grew by accident rarely survives on purpose. Assets end up in the wrong names, in the wrong places, under the wrong law. We set the holding structure, the trust or foundation, the jurisdiction and the line of control, so that ownership is clear, transfer is orderly, and the structure answers to the family rather than to whoever drafted it first. We work in the firewall jurisdictions that exist for exactly this: Cook Islands, Cayman, the British Virgin Islands, the Isle of Man, Jersey, Liechtenstein and Luxembourg, each chosen on its merits. Where a mandate calls for it, the structure is Sharia-compliant.
What the work involves
The line we hold
Every structure is lawful, documented, and disclosed where disclosure is owed. We build for protection and order, not concealment. A structure that depends on a tax authority never finding it is not a structure. It is a liability with a delay on it.
Who retains us
Principals and families whose holdings have outgrown the arrangement that created them, and who would rather fix the structure than hope it holds.
