Jimmy Sexton, LL.M.
Founder & CEO, Esquire Group

A love of complex problem-solving drove Esquire Group’s Founder & CEO, Jimmy Sexton, LL.M., to attend law school. After law school, he started his first company, which focused on “tax controversy” – essentially, helping people resolve their tax problems. He discovered that his clients’ problems were often due to poorly prepared tax returns and bad tax advice.This experience motivated him to start Esquire Group to provide clients the high-quality, strategic international tax services they deserved.Our mission is to help our clients implement effective international tax and wealth plans, stay in compliance, and protect their wealth.Over the past 20 years, Jimmy has become a recognized expert in the fields of international tax and planning. He has spoken about international tax and wealth planning matters before the United Nations, the American Chamber of Commerce, and eBay, and has consulted with governments on improving their trust and foundation laws. He is a regular speaker and panelist at industry conferences, and has been quoted and published by media outlets including Forbes, CNN, and the Washington Post. He is also a regular contributor to Bloomberg and serves as the Chairman of the International Business Structuring Association’s Middle East Chapter.

Most tax advisors go to school, climb the ladder at their firm, and take a steady salary all their lives. As a result, their advice tends to be a little conventional.At Esquire Group, we’re different.Textbooks are not a replacement for having skin in the game.We recognize that strategies that look good on paper are worthless (perhaps even dangerous) if they cannot be practicably executed in the real-world.We are indelibly shaped by our founder Jimmy Sexton’s personal experience building Esquire Group – his own multinational entrepreneurial venture - from the ground up. He understands deeply what it means to build an asset, and the importance of protecting it.And our philosophy stems from Jimmy’s stunningly successful victory against the U.S. government, fighting back when they attempted to take down his business (courts even ordered the IRS to pay his attorney’s fees – you can read Jimmy’s full personal story here).Let’s be clear.The government does not have your best interest at heart.We do.Jimmy’s personal experience infuses, at every level, our commitment to helping our clients protect themselves, their loved ones, their assets, and their businesses. To ensure this, Jimmy has personally trained all of our consultants.We know when to be aggressive and when to be restrained.The result is peace of mind. We’ve got your back.

We’ll take the time to learn your objectives, to study the facts, and lay out your options in plain English. You deserve the best, clearest counsel. At the Esquire Group, we’re committed to your success, and to helping you protect what’s most important.At too many large professional service firms, you’ll be a priority… until you become a paying client. After that, you’ll struggle to get attention from a partner or team leader who is capable of advising you properly.At Esquire Group, every client is assigned a designated international tax consultant who has the knowledge and skills required to advise them competently--we don’t use workgroups or associates. When you call on your consultant, they will reply promptly, and will be familiar with your situation without having to look in a file.And no matter who you work with at Esquire Group…… you will get clear and actionable advice.

I practice what I preach.I’ve built my own multinational business, put structures in place to protect my own wealth, and expatriated from the US.I know my solutions work--I use them myself. We look forward to working with you to help you protect and grow your most valuable assets, as well.
