Bridgeford Trust Company is excited to return as a sponsor of the sold-out STEP LatAm Conference, taking place September 4-5, 2025, in Mexico City. If you’re attending, be sure to connect with Mariano Marco, Global Managing Director of Bridgeford Global, at our exhibit table—he’ll be available throughout the event to meet with friends and new contacts to discuss modern trust law, advanced planning strategies, and the important issues shaping cross-border planning for families and their advisors.
From Foreign Grantor Trusts and Domestic Asset Protection Trusts to progressive privacy provisions and tax planning opportunities, South Dakota law continues to position the U.S. as the jurisdiction of choice for families around the world. What sets Bridgeford apart is our independent, conflict-free model, enabling us to deliver these powerful solutions without the constraints of institutionalized approaches and ultimately giving families and advisors true control and flexibility in their planning.
To explore more about our independent approach, read our article: Independent v. Institutionalized Trust Companies: In Defense of the New Paradigm. For deeper insights into the global factors driving wealth into the U.S., watch our webinar: The U.S. as the International Trust Jurisdiction of Choice for Privacy, Asset Protection, and Tax Planning, where our team compares leading top-tier U.S. trust jurisdictions and the planning tools available to international families.
As one of the premier gatherings for international wealth planning, STEP LatAm brings together more than 300 professionals from Latin America, the U.S., and Europe. The conference features forward-looking discussions on structuring and managing wealth in today’s global environment, making it an ideal forum to highlight the advantages of South Dakota trust law and Bridgeford’s truly independent approach.
Safe travels to those attending, and we look forward to seeing you in Mexico City!
