Q: What is the MLAT (Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty)?

A: An agreement between two countries for the exchange of information for the enforcement of criminal laws. Assistance may be denied by either country for political or security reasons, or if the criminal offense in question is not equally punishable in both countries. The bottom line is, this treaty is to enforce major criminal activity like drug trafficking and murder.

Q: Haven't most offshore jurisdictions entered into a MLAT?

A: Yes. We have seen many sites (including law firms who should have knowledge of this) claiming the jurisdictions they do business in do not have MLATs with the U.S. This is not true. This includes Panama who does have an MLAT. (per the U.S. Dept of State http://travel.state.gov/law/info/judicial/judicial_690.html). You will find that even countries such as Colombia have signed an MLAT.

Q: Who has access and control of my Bank Account?

A: Only you have control. Unless you specify otherwise when setting up your accounts, you retain full control.

Q: Does the term “Offshore” pertain to a specific jurisdiction when forming a business or bank account?

A: No. “Offshore” is a relative term depending upon your legal residence or primary place of business. If you reside in the U.K. and formed a company in the U.S., this newly formed U.S. business would now be considered an Offshore Company.
