Article Check - Why use a Panama Law Firm for your Offshore Structure
Eliminate Painful Meetings says well I don’t see anything here to justify the violation of attorney client privilege, what do you think the other side does next, walk away and forget about you? Not so fast, they can smell your assets and want a big bite as soon as they can get it. They see a chink in your armor that they are not finished exploiting. The chink is you did not use an attorney in a privacy oriented jurisdiction even though you might have used an offshore structure in one. So now they just add your attorney into the lawsuit as an additional defendant alleging him or her to be a conspirator in the plot to defraud the creditor out of his pound of flesh he wishes to take from your life savings, real estate, business, estate, etc. This gives them a shot at piercing attorney client privilege which is to say the attorney used an offshore structure to make discovery impossible thus thwarting justice and is sheltering the defendants assets behind attorney client privilege as an another layer in the scheme to defraud their client from collecting his lawful court ordered debt by grabbing your assets. If the other side is motivated and has money they will wear down your asset protection strategy until they can reach out and grab your assets. If you sued a lawyer in a privacy jurisdiction like Panama and did your formations there and banked there, you would be the one wearing down your adversary who would be getting frustrated spendingI remember being interviewed by a writer for an article about effective meetings that was to appear in a national magazine. The writer began the interview by saying, “I don’t want any of the old standard tips; I want new tips.”I replied, “Well, people wouldn’t need new tips if they used the old tips.” This isn’t what the writer wanted to hear, nor is this what many of us want to hear, but this is the truth. If we used what we already know, we could avoid a lot of problems -- including unproductive meetings.Have you ever sat through a meeting only to realize that the real issues were being discussed outside the meeting? Have you ever attended a meeting and asked yourself what the point was?Many organizations experience what I like to call the “soap opera effect” -- you go to one meeting, then miss a few meetings, and then when you go to the next meeting, it is as if you never missed any meetings at all! Just like the afternoon soaps, you only have to check in once in a while to get caught up.If everyone was more upfront and honest, meetings could be a wonderful vehicle to accomplish our objectives and goals. It’s staggering to think of the time, productivity, and money lost due to unproductive meetings. It doesn’t have to be that way.Here are twelve simple, honest ti ISO 9000 Services All your transactions with a Panama Law Firm are covered by tight Attorney Client Privileged Communication. The lawyer/law firm can not reveal anything about the client or their transactions, business dealings, etc. unless specifically authorized by the client. The exception to this would be if ordered by a Panama Court which is a possibility but something very rarely seen.Designing a quality management system that fulfills the requirements of ISO 9000 is not a difficult task. Many ISO 9000 services help businesses build up systems that obey the requirements of the ISO 9000 series of international standards.ISO 9000 is a complete quality control system recognized and respected throughout the world. It applies to all types of businesses irrespective of their size and final outcome. ISO 9000 now includes three quality standards, namely, ISO 9000:2000, ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 9004:2000. The first one introduces requirements and other two present guidelines.These services assist business organizations to attain ISO 9000 knowledge, implement the standard, and prepare for registration with the least time, in the most convenient way, and cost-effectively too. Both product and service oriented businesses seek the assistance of ISO 9000 services to improve their productivity and customer happiness through reduced waste and rework, shortened cycle times, superior supplier relations, and improved problem tracking. Most ISO 9000 services are customized to your organization?s particular needs.Their auditor team of these ISO 9000 services consists of experienced professionals who are qualified to evaluate companies pursuing all variations of certification under the Lawyers have to pass background checks from their government in addition to attending law school. The government knows who their lawyers are and regulates them. Lawyers have obligations and fiduciary responsibilities to their clients. We see many people buying corporations, trusts, etc. from non-lawyer web based businesses and also for bank accounts. It for some reason never occurs to the client that the entity they are doing business with has all their private financial information such as name of their company, ownership of the company, passports, bank and business reference letters, addresses, phones, email, business information, where their bank account is, etc. These entities they are doing business with have no binding legislation or regulations on them preventing them from revealing any of this information to whoever they wish to reveal it to. In most cases they could not protect the client if they wanted to since they have no privileged communication. If they got a phone call from a governmental agency from 6,000 miles away the chances are they would cave in and provide the requested information. These phone calls usually go like this: I am so and so Inspector with the Tax Police of ABC country. Your country already knows that I am investigating this case. This means he sent an email to the government. I have a court order signed by a Judge would you like me to fax it over to you? This means the court order is as a rule almost never valid in the jurisdiction he is calling. Now when your friendly corporation registered agent says something cute like the court order is not from here and you have no authority here what he gets back sounds like this. If you fail to cooperate I will file a suspicious criminal actions report with your police since for all we know you are the owners of the corporation in question and are the guilty parties and we will ask that you be investigated by your police. This is usually done in a threatening way since it is a bluff. Now the corporate agent thinking the last thing he needs is to be the subject of an investigation by his own police and has to hire a lawyer, etc. says, wait a minute what is it you want? Okay wait while I pull it up for you. This probably took 3-5 minutes and your privacy is violated. No attorney client privilege means no downside for the corporate agent to cooperate. What would we say? We’d say there is attorney client privilege in Panama and you must get a court order from a Panama Judge ordering us to release any information about any client and then we’d hang up without providing any information. Corporate Agents Offering corporations in Many Jurisdictions - Do not be deceived by firms that offer bank accounts and corporations from numerous countries. They are merely corporate agents or resellers of corporations from these countries. It is not very hard to become a reseller in many of these countries. Their ploy for credibility is selling from many different countries so you see a big shopping list of jurisdictions and think they are a real credible operation when they are really nothing more than a relatively unregulated offshore corporation based in some tax haven selling you formations in different jurisdictions most of which are not any good for asset protection, corporate privacy, or even bank secrecy. If you read through our web site you will soon realize that most if not all of these jurisdictions are “has been” privacy jurisdictions that are no longer private. They sell these products to people who are familiar with the jurisdiction from the past reputation but have not followed the recent changes in the laws relating to these jurisdictions in the post 9-11 world. If we knew of a better jurisdiction than Panama we would offer it! Law Firms in Your Own Country - Be careful about using a law firm in your own country even if they offer to set up an offshore structure for you. The weak link in the chain is the attorney is located in the country where you are. If you felt your country respected the individual’s right to privacy and operated a fair and equitable court system you would probably not be reading this. Attacking Attorney Client Privilege - An adversary can attack the attorney client privilege claiming your attorney conspired with you or was complicit in some way in something you allegedly did like the fraudulent conveyance of assets to avoid creditors, fraud, misrepresentation, tax violations pertaining to income tax, sales tax, property tax, gift tax, inheritance tax, probate tax, corporate tax, capital gains tax and other assorted and sundry taxes, creation of straw man trusts and other asset protection shams, money laundering, and the list can go on and on. We are not saying you did or should do such things, in fact you should not do such things, we are saying it can be alleged that you did such things and these allegations in these non-privacy countries are enough to break the attorney client privilege you have with the attorney. Jurisdictions that do not respect privacy and do not have fair and equitable court systems are not going to let a thing like attorney client privilege stop a big law firm from taking away your assets in the name of justice.

Housing starts are down with consumer confidence following suit. According to The Conference Board its “March [2007] consumer confidence index fell to 107.2, the lowest level since November and a decline that was larger than Wall Street expected.”The good news is the Dow has performed well in the midst of this news while labor statistics remain strong.Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony before Congress on March 28th, 2007 found him concerned about the impact of defaults on subprime loans. Bernanke indicated that, “Although the turmoil in the subprime mortgage market has created severe financial problems for many individuals and families, the implications of these developments for the housing market as a whole are less clear. The ongoing tightening of lending standards, although an appropriate market response, will reduce somewhat the effective demand for housing, and foreclosed properties will add to the inventories of unsold homes.”Interestingly, news of the ‘bubble pop’ in subprime lending is rippling around the world. The European Union as well as Australia have been monitoring this leading economic indicator.Chairman Bernanke indicated subprime loans a Corporate Agents Offering corporations in Many Jurisdictions - Do not be deceived by firms that offer bank accounts and corporations from numerous countries.

Barcodes are efficient tools for maintaining large inventory records; they save time and manpower because the procedure is systemized and standardized. Above all, barcodes are very specific to the product.The information encoded in barcodes cannot be read using human eyes, and making the copies of them requires specialized pieces of equipment, which are costly. Therefore, barcodes are free from duplications.Barcodes for inventory are made up of paper, vinyl, plastic, or metal; they are self-adhesive and can be easily affixed to the product. These barcode labels are designed by computers using specific barcode software programs and are printed using either laser printers or special standalone printers made expressly for printing barcodes. The techniques used for creating barcodes for inventory purposes are reflective printing and photocomposition.Barcodes for inventory use are either line bars or two-dimensional encoding bars. In line bars, information is coded as a sequence of vertical lines. In two-dimensional encoding, the information is coded as a pattern of dots of varying thickness. Most barcodes for inventory usage are designed by companies themselve Corporate Agents Offering corporations in Many Jurisdictions - Do not be deceived by firms that offer bank accounts and corporations from numerous countries.

As explained in the segment on equity, this is not supposed to be a text book course, but explains briefly what you will encounter in the real world of business finance.These comments are not for the retail business; they apply to wholesalers, importers and manufacturers.The amount of money the financial institution will be prepared to lend you will depend a great deal on the amount and ease of realization of the inventory collateral you can offer to cover the loan, in case there is a default in repayment.It is not just the amount of the collateral, but the quality of the collateral, and whether it would realize enough to repay the loan if there was a liquidation of the business.A typical example might be that your main collateral for a $1 million loan application is your inventory of widgets. The widgets will cost you $1,250,000 and you expect to sell them for a total of $2,000,000 which would gain you a $750,000 profit.

If you sued a lawyer in a privacy jurisdiction like Panama and did your formations there and banked there, you would be the one wearing down your adversary who would be getting frustrated spending time and money and getting nowhere in the Panama courts. They would be getting their cases dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, incorrect venue, etc. This could motivate your adversary to settle for pennies on the dollar after they had a very expensive taste of the Panama Courts, or they just decide they can’t penetrate your structure not even being sure what your structure is and plain give up. Using a lawyer in your own country to formulate your asset protection strategy is a weak link that should not be presented to a financial enemy. The same applies to using an attorney in another country where privacy and justice have disappeared. One privacy hating unfair jurisdiction can usually reach out to another privacy hating unfair jurisdiction and get their assistance, alleging almost anything will work in these jurisdictions. Some of these countries actually respect the court orders from another country, all that is required is a trip to the local court to have the foreign court order rubber stamped and thus domesticated and made enforceable. This is common with money judgments from foreign countries in the privacy hating jurisdictions but you do not have much to worry about in Panama.Let me ask you this… What makes a successful business owner?Well for me, a successful business owner is someone that earns well into six figures or more each year from their business, working around 3 to 4 days (or less) per week.I call this ‘successful’ because if they can make a few hundred thousand a year from their business, and only work a few days per week – they have to have a lot of great things in place…Not just in their business – but in their personal life.It tells me that in their business they have fabulous systems and staff members that are willing and able to work even when the owner isn’t there.And the business would have great information systems so that the business owner would know everything that’s going on (even though they’re not there) – so they can still ‘control’ the business.They’d have excellent marketing and sales systems that day in day out draw in ‘ideal’ customers that willingly buy from the business, at full price.Plus because of the level of service and quality in the business the customers are loyal and enthusiastically refer other people to the business.The business owner would also have a high level of trust in their staff to run the business – which shows me a couple of things.Number 1, they’d have exce How to do it -Use a law firm only in the jurisdiction where your corporation, foundation and bank are located. This way not only can the law firm that did your asset protection structure help you if trouble comes knocking on your door but your confidential information is out of reach of the courts your financial enemies will use. Do not use a corporation agent or non-lawyer for your asset protection. There is no attorney client privilege. Anonymity is your Friend - Anonymity is your first line of defense. Only use anonymous bearer share corporations or anonymous foundations where no ownership records are in existence in any government registry (Panama). Panama Foundation assets are not sequesterable (not freezable). This makes discovery of ownership impossible even with a court order. Make sure the corporation or foundation need not file any tax returns and has no tax liabilities based on profit, income or assets (Panama). Tax returns could lead to an audit. Make sure the publicly recorded nominees of the corporation or foundation do not know the owners (Panama). Make sure there is tight Bank Secrecy (Panama has the best in the world now). Make sure there is strong attorney client privilege ( Panama). Make sure the jurisdiction in question is in no tax treaties with any country (Panama). Make sure the jurisdiction in question allows for no fishing expeditions (Panama). Make sure the jurisdiction in question does not cooperate on fiscal offenses (Panama, in Panama all tax offenses are civil not criminal). Make sure the jurisdiction does not allow civil lawsuits concerning matters that did not take place in the jurisdiction to be tried in their courts just because the corporation, foundation or bank account is domiciled there (Panama). Make sure the jurisdiction is dependent on corporate privacy and bank secrecy for its economy (Panama has 400,000 corporations domiciled there and there are 150 banks in country whose population is 2.9 million people, employing 20% of the workforce.
