PRACTICE EMPHASIS

Chris Rusch is an international tax lawyer.  He handles a wide range of planning and controversy matters for U.S. and foreign-based companies and wealthy individuals.  Mr. Rusch offers demonstrated expertise in international formations, asset protection and banking.

Approximately 30% of his practice involves planning and forming international structures and 70% is dedicated to defending clients who used a noncompliant offshore structure or another Federal or State tax dispute. These disputes include audits of U.S. citizens and residents with unreported foreign income and bank accounts, offshore credit cards, international seizures, and extraditions. Mr. Rusch is a leading authority on the Internal Revenue Service’s Offshore Voluntary Compliance Initiative, Abusive Transaction Settlement Initiative, and “Last Chance” settlements.

His experience in international audits and the defense of offshore structures makes him uniquely qualified to plan, form, and manage international businesses and asset protection strategies that comply with U.S. tax law.

Mr. Rusch’s recent international formation projects have included various personal asset protection trusts and related management companies, holding and investment companies, three Swiss venture capital firms, a Cayman Island based business with 600+ employees and independent contractors, an offshore bank and insurance company, and many other unique structures.
