About Nicholas J. Heuer
Nicholas Heuer's practice focuses on advising the international private client. This entails counseling ultra-high-net-worth individuals, their closely-held business interests, family offices and private trust companies whose circumstances generally have international components intersecting with the US legal system. Clients trust Nick's innovative and practical solutions that simplify the complex nature of any cross-border legal matter or endeavor.
Trusted counsel for cross-border matters
Nick's broader practice involves “inbound” and “outbound” planning and, in each case, is mostly comprised of three core areas of the law: tax, trusts and estates, and corporate law, both from a planning and operational perspective. His “inbound” counsel spans foreign grantor and non-grantor trust planning for non-US settlors having US beneficiaries, investment in the United States by non-US family offices and individuals, non-US persons seeking to immigrate to the United States, or non-US closely-held businesses looking to make investments in, or enter, the US market. His “outbound” counsel includes US persons who live or have assets and investments abroad, may inherit from—or leave an inheritance for—non-US family members, or desire to expatriate or become a bona fide resident of a US territory (e.g., US Virgin Islands). In this regard, Nick travels extensively outside the United States to build the necessary relationships with foreign wealth advisors, fiduciaries and attorneys in order to provide comprehensive and competent counsel to the international private client.
