eprivateclient reports today on a recent webinar co-hosted by Hetal Sanghvi of our Tax team and Michael Powell, head of Hawksford’s India desk, addressing the topic of cross-border wealth structuring for global Indian families alongside the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the uncertainty that international families are facing and the need for advisers to provide clear guidance and flexible wealth structuring options.
