DAVID GODSCHALK is an acknowledged offshore legislation expert, researcher and analyst.
Whether it's tax, bank secrecy, corporate structures or another topic, you can
rely on his encyclopaedic knowledge of the relevant offshore laws and
customs.
Whilst David rarely takes an active role in the design of offshore
strategies for private clients, he is happy to answer questions regarding both
legislation and actual practices in most offshore centres.
David's primary goal is to provide others with the benefit of staying a step
ahead of any imminent offshore legislative changes. To this purpose, David diligently
monitors and analyses all developments affecting today's offshore financial industry.
This includes keeping an eye on the work of offshore regulators, monitoring the progress
of anti-offshore initiatives, monitoring political developments in offshore centres, and
researching all news and other factors that might result in adverse legislative
changes.
A self-confessed stickler for details, David is affectionately
known as the "angry librarian". David says: "Research may sound dull but
remember that information is power.
I get a lot of satisfaction when I tell people to stay out of this jurisdiction,
be wary of this bank, or watch out for this law, and six months later they send me
thank-you-thank-god-I-did notes."
David's comprehensive knowledge of offshore regulatory issues is also available to those
wishing to obtain offshore banking, insurance or reinsurance licences. If you are about to
start wading through all that red tape, you'll be glad he is on your side.
David is libertarian and an outspoken critic of big government and European federalism.
