Sovereign Management & Legal, Ltd. is a multi-jurisdictional offshore services provider in business since 1996 delivering legal and other services through its Panama lawyer associates as well as through outlets in other jurisdictions such as Belize and Hong Kong.

We can assist you in achieving your financial goals of asset protection, privacy, and tax reduction and all matters related to conducting business internationally, becoming judgment proof and protecting yourself from divorce, bankruptcy and other of life’s problems as well as living and doing business in Panama or Belize. When you work with a lawyer you have the added advantage of attorney-client privilege as an additional and most important layer of protection. This is important because the vast majority of offshore providers are not law firms and therefore there is little protection beyond their own stated assurances and good intentions. In fact most are just incorporation agents for other firms. Not a good foundation on which to base one’s offshore planning, since for the most part there are no statutory penalties that prevent these providers from disclosing your private data! As a client of our firm you will always have access to a lawyer. Our multi-lingual staff can provide for all your management needs, including accounting and physical office services to insure your company’s successful and profitable operation.

We have assembled a number of competitively priced all-inclusive turnkey packages that we have found from experience to meet a large percentage of people’s requirements. Some of these are shown to the immediate right and below.  Full details can be seen on our schedule of fees page. Our SSL encrypted secure order form is where they can be ordered directly online.

Jurisdictions

One jurisdiction cannot do it all! Panama probably offers the probably the best all round option of any for cost effectiveness as well as privacy and flexibility closely followed by Belize. We believe many of our clients can benefit from a multi-jurisdictional approach to their offshore planning based on the needs of their business and where they need to open accounts. Therefore, although we can incorporate in almost any jurisdiction the following have special appeal: Belize, B.V.I., Costa Rica, Cyprus, Delaware (USA), Hong-Kong, Nevis, New Zealand, Samoa, Seychelles, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, U.K. Even though many of these jurisdictions would not be considered privacy jurisdictions in the same way as Belize or Panama, we can tailor solutions that utilize nominees along with Panama foundations or Belize trusts that will provide maximum anonymity where legitimate business reasons require it. We have correspondents in almost every other major offshore jurisdiction so if you have special jurisdictional requirements or preferences outside of these that are listed please contact us and we will give you the pros and cons of your choice(s).

Offshore Accounts

We specialize in providing offshore account solutions for our clients that do not require a personal presence which many now require. So we form relationships with financial institutions of all types that prefer to deal with introductions from a law firm rather than with persons who contact them directly.  All provide online access and almost all allow you to execute a wire online.  Our most popular offshore account jurisdiction is Belize for its easier documentation requirements. Panama is also popular because of its famed banking secrecy reputation but has more rigorous account opening requirements and only USD and EUR currency options available. Hong Kong provides an excellent option with one of the largest international institutions in the world and uniquely with no reference letters required. We have other options if you cannot procure a banking reference letter which many have difficulties obtaining.  Other jurisdictions that we can offer include St. Lucia, St. Vincent, St. Kitts & Nevis, Austria, Liechtenstein, Cyprus, Mauritius and Seychelles.

Account Signatory Services

Many are concerned about the possibility of Tax Information Sharing agreements being signed in the near future with their home country or do not want to report their foreign account signatory status to their home tax authorities.  New EU-wide compliance laws now require local management in order for offshore business operations not to fall into the European tax web.  This can be achieved by putting in place the law firm as manager of the company and signatory on all accounts. This allows you to maximize the asset protection and privacy benefits of the offshore structures and provides for a compliant “arms length” solution. The law firm will then stand as a buffer between yourself and any perceived control you could be seen to otherwise have.  More

Lots of ways to communicate securely with us:

Since everyone’s needs can be different, we are available to customize solutions and you are invited to personally visit us. For our visiting addresses please see our contact us page. If a visit is not convenient, in addition to our regular office, phone and fax we have a number of secure ways you can communicate in absolute privacy with us including PGP email / hushmail and Skype encrypted email chat and internet telephony.

Panama Corporations

The second most popular offshore corporate vehicle in the world after Hong Kong!  Since we do our own public registry filings, instead of using another law firm, we are able to offer the most feature rich offshore Panama package at a price that you will find elsewhere costing as much as double because we don’t charge additional for all the “extras” which we include unlike many other firms.   More

Private Interest Foundations

A powerful asset protection vehicle that provides strong safeguards against overly ambitious creditors, Panamanian private foundations resemble trusts but have elements of a corporation and last testament and will built in. Modeled after the Liechtenstein foundation but at a fraction of the cost and with more flexibility they own outright the assets placed in them. They provide a very useful alternative to asset protection trusts as their assets cannot be sequestered but operate in a similar way. They are completely anonymous.  They can be especially useful as a sole shareholder of corporations rendering the company foreign owned for most domestic tax purposes.

Panama company or other offshore IBC coupled with a Panamanian Foundation

Your best choice if your primary goal is asset protection, complete privacy AND, depending on your country of residence, elimination of reporting requirements and tax deferral opportunities.  Especially if you combine this with our full management and account signatory services! In essence, a Private Interest Foundation is put in place that acts as a Shareholder of the company. Ownership thereby is divested to another legal entity that owns the assets of the corporation outright and there is no such legal thing as an owner of a foundation. More

In a hurry?

Panama companies and foundations can be set up in as little as 2 to 3 business days with the addition of a special $250 fee per structure that is paid to the public registry. Also ask for our current list of recent and aged shelf (ready-made) companies and foundations. Some are even available with funded but unused accounts!

E-Commerce Solutions

Panama is an ideal location for the setting up of an e-commerce business. Panama has ideal privacy and tax friendly laws, excellent business infrastructure and low cost of doing business as well as high fiber optic bandwidth availability. A key component of this is an offshore merchant account which we offer in a special e-commerce package with a Panama Corporation and foundation for just $3,475. See the full requirements for setting up an offshore merchant account.  More

Panama Residency / 2nd Passport Services

Panama offers a number of passport and residency options for those seeking economic opportunity, freedom, safety and tropical lifestyle options.  All of them are quite easy to qualify for.  The economic solvency visa, the business investor visa or the reforestation investor visa are all residency options that will lead to full citizenship after a period of time and you would only need to visit once a year to qualify! Lastly the ever popular pensionado visa is the easiest of all to qualify for if over the age of 45 and now this option, under the recently passed new law, leads to full citizenship after 5 years.  Pensionados are entitled to many different types of discounts within the country and can import household effects, cars etc. free of tax.   More
