Approximately 30% of Chris' practice involves planning and forming international structures; 70% is dedicated to defending clients who've used a noncompliant offshore structure and other federal and state tax disputes, including audits of U.S. citizens and residents with unreported foreign income and bank accounts, offshore credit cards, international seizures, and extraditions.
