Jaime is a partner in the private client and tax team.
She advises on US and international tax and estate planning, particularly for families and trusts with US/UK cross-border concerns.Jaime devotes a large part of her practice to advising individuals and families in relation to their philanthropic goals and charitable structuring for both individuals and non-profit organisations. She has extensive experience with the establishment and operation of US charitable vehicles, including those that form part of dual qualified charitable structures, which attract tax-efficient contributions from US persons outside the US. She also advises non-US charities in relation to US investments and fundraising.
Jaime frequently works with individuals seeking to renounce US citizenship or abandon long-term permanent residence in the US. She provides US tax compliance advice to individuals and assists them through the relevant IRS disclosure procedures, when necessary. In addition, she advises both individuals and entities on their FATCA obligations.
