Private Clients, Estate & Tax Planning
Allende & Brea represents private clients, Argentine and foreign families, and has one of the most recognized practices in Argentina in this area since its foundation 65 years ago.
Our team works closely with successful Argentine and international families and entrepreneurs, structuring their assets in a way that allows them to preserve their wealth and distribute it to their future generations. To that end, we design tax-effective strategies through the use of revocable and irrevocable trusts, private foundations, and other asset protection structures. The firm also advises clients on the review and maintenance of these structures in light of tax reforms or regulatory changes, both in Argentina and abroad.
Much of our work is multi-jurisdictional, and our lawyers provide a full range of services including wealth structuring, tax planning, trust litigation and dispute resolution, philanthropy and charitable giving, wills and succession planning, among others. We have also been involved in white collar crime investigations.
In a country where still a majority of companies remain family owned, we also advise families and high net worth individuals in corporate governance matters with the implementation of family protocols and shareholders agreements. The firm provides comprehensive estate reorganization services, facilitating generational transitions for companies in strategic sectors such as agribusiness, real estate, energy, and technology. We also design special management and distribution mechanisms to benefit heirs with unique personal circumstances.
Our team has also been involved in multiple M&A transactions, advising families on the sale of their companies and subsequent estate planning, or representing them when acquiring a company in the Argentine market.
We work primarily for international private banks, single and multifamily offices, trust companies, independent financial advisors, wealth planning companies, international law firms representing clients with assets in Argentina, and in general families and high net worth individuals with interests in Argentina or abroad.
Family and Inheritance
Our Family Law and Succession practice is focused in advising individual clients in all their personal affairs, including family dispute resolutions, succession disputes, restructuring of family businesses, charitable trusts, probate proceedings and testamentary trusts. We have been involved in complex inheritance proceedings with elements of private international law and conflicts of law.
Our firm has experience in highly sensitive litigation, interjurisdictional coordination, and the design of succession structures that ensure business continuity and the protection of minors and disabled individuals.
