Private wealth planning has evolved considerably as families become increasingly international.

Entrepreneurs establish businesses across borders, children study and work abroad, investments are diversified internationally and families seek greater flexibility regarding residence and lifestyle.

These developments create opportunities, but also require careful legal planning.

Magdalena advises clients throughout these transitions, helping them understand how residence, citizenship, succession, tax and wealth preservation interact across jurisdictions.

Her work commonly includes:

• international private client advisory;
• estate and succession planning;
• residence and citizenship strategy;
• cross-border wealth planning;
• family governance;
• trusts and foundations;
• international asset structuring;
• wealth preservation;
• relocation planning; and
• coordination of international legal matters.

Her approach focuses on understanding each family's objectives before designing practical legal strategies capable of adapting as circumstances evolve.

International private client work increasingly requires advisers capable of looking beyond individual legal disciplines.
