With over fifteen years of experience advising high net worth entrepreneurs and corporations, Terry Birles believes in promoting business across borders in a smart and tax efficient way.
From the concept “everything is legal somewhere on Earth” to using jurisdictions’ legal and tax framework differences to the benefit of international investors, Terry’s approach relies on strong cultural knowledge of the region where the project takes place as well as a thinking-outside-the-box vision to find opportunities where others may see risk.
