Hal J. Webb

When the world’s wealthiest families need assistance with international tax planning, global estate planning, or planning related to investing in or moving to the U.S., they come to Hal. Head of Bilzin Sumberg's International Private Client Services, Hal advises high-net-worth private clients, family offices, and trust companies from across the world, particularly the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. He regularly provides advice regarding foreign trusts with U.S. beneficiaries, pre-immigration tax and estate planning, planning for large gifts and inheritances being received by U.S. persons from foreign persons or foreign estates, foreign investment in U.S. real estate and business interests, and tax compliance and reporting. 

For Hal, a client’s privacy is sacrosanct. Like his legal work, Hal’s reputation for discretion is well-known. As a result, his clients trust him with details rarely shared outside a very small, closed circle. Hal forms bonds so close with his clients that they oftentimes treat him like part of their family.
