  The new edition of Global Mobility of Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals is now live for subscribers to Private Client.

  With increasing political uncertainty, evolving tax landscapes, and the proliferation of special tax regimes designed to attract the wealthy, ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) now have more options than ever when selecting a country of residence. As international relocation becomes more common, advisers must take a holistic approach to guide clients through the complex legal, tax, and succession implications of cross-border moves.

  Co-published with STEP, this comprehensive new edition features insights from leading private client advisers across key jurisdictions worldwide. It provides expert analysis of the legal and tax considerations involved in inbound and outbound relocations of UHNWIs, covering critical aspects such as:

  Immigration – Residency and citizenship pathways
  Taxation – Impact of relocation on personal and business taxation
  Succession – Estate planning and inheritance rules
  Family Law – Implications for marital property, divorce, and children

  This new edition includes 23 country-specific chapters, with new chapters featured including Brazil, the Cayman Islands, Jersey, Malta, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates. In addition, specialised chapters address broader international issues, including succession and family law issues triggered by relocation, ramifications from the movement of works of art, and the impact of the relocation of UNHWIs for trustees.

  Designed for lawyers, bankers, tax advisers and all professionals working with UHNWIs, this book serves as an essential reference for navigating the legal and financial complexities of international residence planning.

• AI and the Legal Profession, Second Edition

  The new edition of AI and the Legal Profession: Transforming the Future of Law is live now for subscribers to Law Firm Management - New Law.

  The capabilities and applications of artificial intelligence (AI) are evolving at breakneck speed, and law firms and practitioners may be at a loss as to how to make the most of what these new technologies offer. The second edition of AI and the Legal Profession: Transforming the Future of Law acts as a guide, helping readers navigate this new frontier by delving into the impact of AI on the legal industry and the transformative possibilities it presents.

  
  

  The fear that AI will replace lawyers has been exorcised; however, questions remain as to how AI is best used as a complementary tool. This book provides the answers by exploring the ways in which AI is revolutionising legal practice – including research, document review and examination, and predictive analytics – and elements of law firm operations, such as billing, pricing, and recruitment and retention. To achieve maximal outcomes, human collaboration with legal AI is key: AI and the Legal Profession, second edition underscores the importance of human judgment in AI usage and offers roadmaps to upskilling existing teams, finding and keeping new talent, and improving work–life balance.

  
  

  Integration and development of AI is often one of the biggest hurdles firms must overcome. This book provides practical guidance for those exploring the two paths to AI implementation – building in-house, proprietary tools or seeking existing solutions from external vendors. Topics covered include needs assessment, process mapping, and goal-setting; build vs buy analysis and vendor selection; planning, customization, and integration; and evaluation and future-planning. Insights into current and upcoming regulatory developments, such as the EU’s AI Act, offer instruction as to what kinds of systems and processes will need to be embedded to ensure compliance.

  The new edition of Professor Benedict O Oramah's Foundations and Evolutions of Structured Trade Finance is now live for subscribers to Banking & Finance.

  Structured trade finance (STF) is a highly specialized area of trade finance that has evolved directly from practice. As it grows and becomes more complex in an increasingly risk-based regulatory environment, there is a pressing need for detailed guidance on the subject.

  Now in its second edition, Foundations of Structured Trade Finance provides exactly this. Written by Professor Benedict O. Oramah, president of Afreximbank and a key figure in the evolution of STF, this book delves into the philosophical foundations and risks associated with structured trade finance. It offers step-by-step guidance on structuring deals, explores the scope of coverage beyond commodities, and examines real-life case studies to draw valuable lessons.

  The new edition has been revised and updated, featuring brand new sections on reserve-based lending, supply chain finance, and new technologies for implementing structured trade finance.
