At J&G, we also understand that our clients demand the very best when it comes to legal representation concerning those certainties in life that no one has the power to change: death and taxes. We provide a wide range of tax services that assist our clients in understanding and, as a consequence, managing their taxes and their personal and business estates. (See Estate Planning, Business Planning & Tax Planning below.)

International business transactions have become a commonplace part of many local businesses. J&G has actively participated in this development by assisting clients who wish to participate in the global marketplace. We have represented our clients' commercial interests in the Netherlands, Italy, Poland, England, and France and have successfully developed extensive land development projects in St. Maarten, where we continue to provide real estate transactions services.
As an early participant in the online, digital revolution, J&G has assisted a number of Internet start-up companies to establish themselves in cyberspace. Our emphasis upon efficiently identifying and allocating risks, protecting intellectual property, and establishing appropriate contractual relationships has been widely recognized as the cornerstone of our clients' successes.
Not too long ago, intellectual property rights were undervalued or overlooked as a valuable asset in most business transactions. Today, those rights often are traded in the global marketplace separate from and independent of the other assets of an enterprise. Protecting, licensing and establishing a client's intellectual property rights is an important part of our commercial practice.
