Ethics - Bringing your client into compliance without coloring outside the lines
Sponsored by Holland & Knight

Your client failed to report interests in or control over foreign financial accounts, foreign entities, foreign trusts, or gifts from foreign individuals. You know there are several paths to compliance, some much more favorable than others, and your client insists on the broadest protection at the lowest possible cost.
