Moore & Bruce, LLP advises a range of institutional clients including funds (private equity funds, real estate funds, funds directed at a country or region, hedge funds), charities, museums, art galleries, governments, and non-governmental organizations. We render advice on all the issues that arise for these institutions, including contracts, taxation and employment issues.

We advise governments.  For example, we advised a foreign government, through its Embassy in Washington, D.C., as to the U.S. estate taxation of a well-known poet's legacy that, it was hoped, would return to the foreign country.  The estate's and the foreign recipients' goals were achieved in full.

In one of our more unique representations, we advised a southeast European government with respect to the establishment of a representative office in Washington, D.C., before that government was officially recognized by the United States. We helped it acquire a property, which is now its chancery. We also helped the individuals working in this office with a multiplicity of immigration and reporting issues.

Regarding international charities, we have helped organize them in the U.S. and in locations such as Bermuda, Barbados and Jersey, Channel Islands. Where desired, we have obtained IRS determination letters (recognizing their tax exempt status).  Our attorneys sit on the Board of several such entities.

Charitable and Exempt Organizations; Financial Services; International Trade; Securities Law.
