Specialist Proposition

International & Cross-Border

Structuring, tax, finance and reporting coordinated across jurisdictions — one coherent position, supported by appropriate local expertise where required.

Start a conversation

A cross-border situation is one issue expressed across several jurisdictions.

International & Cross-Border is not a separate department at MEN — it is a horizontal capability that runs through strategy, tax, finance, accounting, transactions and governance wherever a business or ownership structure spans more than one jurisdiction. The work spans structuring, tax coordination, multinational reporting, overseas-subsidiary finance, and cross-border property and family structures, kept consistent around the underlying situation rather than treated as a separate engagement in each country.

Start with the issue, not the department.

What this covers

Structuring, Ownership & International Tax

How a cross-border structure is owned and taxed shapes everything that follows — MEN coordinates the overall structuring and tax position across jurisdictions while allowing for the local rules and requirements that apply in each.

Cross-border structuring

Structuring ownership and group arrangements so they work consistently across the jurisdictions involved.

Cross-border ownership structures

Maintaining ownership structures that hold together as they extend across more than one country.

International tax coordination

Advising on overseas entities from a UK tax and reporting perspective.

Cross-border family and trust structures

Coordinating family and trust structures that span more than one jurisdiction, on a consistent basis.

When clients involve MEN

Typical situations

A UK business is setting up or acquiring an overseas subsidiary and needs the structure and reporting coordinated from day one.

A group has entities across several jurisdictions with no single consolidated financial view.

A cross-border transaction or reorganisation needs tax and structuring coordinated across the jurisdictions involved.

Family wealth or property holdings span more than one country, with local advisers working in isolation from each other.

A business expanding into a new market needs the financial and structural groundwork done properly from the outset.

How this connects

How MEN combines disciplines around these situations

A cross-border situation rarely stays inside one discipline, and it rarely stays inside one specialist proposition either. Ownership structure depends on tax; overseas reporting depends on consolidation; a family or property position with international reach depends on the same coordination as any other cross-border matter. MEN treats the disciplines and specialist propositions below as one team around the situation:

Strategy, Transformation & Structuring

Structuring ownership and group arrangements so they hold together across jurisdictions.

Finance, CFO & Performance

Providing the financial leadership and reporting discipline a multi-jurisdiction structure needs.

Transactions & Restructuring

Supporting cross-border transactions, reorganisations and restructuring.

Tax

Coordinating tax across jurisdictions as one position rather than several unconnected ones.

Accounting, Finance Operations & Business Services

Running the accounting and reporting behind overseas entities and the wider group.

Risk, Governance & Compliance

Building the governance and controls a multi-jurisdiction structure depends on.

Private Capital, Family Enterprise & Wealth

Coordinating cross-border family and wealth structures alongside the wider family enterprise position.

Real Estate & Infrastructure

Coordinating cross-border property structures alongside the wider portfolio position.

Where jurisdiction-specific legal, tax, regulatory, employment, immigration, licensing or statutory matters arise, MEN coordinates the wider work alongside appropriately qualified or authorised local professionals in the relevant jurisdiction.

MEN coordinates the overall cross-border position and works with appropriate local professionals wherever jurisdiction-specific expertise, professional standing or authorisation is required.
