Jad Steven Hopper

Welcome,

My name is Jad Hopper and I am a lawyer barred in the USA (Washington, DC bar) as well as a qualified solicitor in England & Wales. I have been practicing since 2017 with a focus on international taxation as well as estate and business planning.

I received my LLM with a Certificate in International Taxation from the Georgetown University Law Center, my JD from the George Washington University Law School, and my BA in Economics with Honors from the University of Chicago.

My goal is to empower individuals and small businesses by helping them preserve their wealth and know their rights in increasingly complex, changing, and internationally entangled systems of taxation, regulation, and reporting requirements.

I offer advisory services that navigate my clients through some of the most common (and not-so-common) legal issues that arise when dealing digitally or internationally. For example, if you are…

… planning your will and concerned about bypassing inheritance tax or other pitfalls like forced heirship regimes;

… wanting to transfer assets into a trust but are unsure of the best structure;

… an American expat concerned about your FATCA/FBAR filings and liabilities;

… a company seeking to establish a presence in the US and concerned about inbound taxation;

… a start-up deciding on what kind of entity to form;

… a crypto trader/investor seeking to convert your gains to fiat and avoid a major tax penalty;

… a business in a contract dispute with a producer or service provider in a foreign jurisdiction;

… a content creator unsure of how to source your income or deduct your expenses; or

… an artist concerned with protecting your digital rights and fighting bogus DMCA claims,

Then my expertise will be of use to you.

Please do not hesitate to reach out for inquires or to schedule an initial consult.

Regards,

Jad
