Marianne focuses technically on tax advisory to high net-worth individuals: preimmigration tax planning, US estate and gift tax planning, foreign trust implications, exit tax planning, and compliance with US tax law. For many of her clients, it is their first experience with the US tax regime, and she is skilled at rapidly empowering her clients to make actionable decisions.
