The Journal and the Association

The gap

Four industries move families across borders: investment migration, offshore planning, international banking, and migration at large. Each publishes, and each publishes from the sell side. The programme sellers are paid by programmes and governments, the banks by products, the law firms by the structures they bill. The family weighing all of it at once, the buyer, has advisors in every silo and a publication in none. The Journal takes that chair. Every piece it publishes has to serve the buyer of these services.

The Association for Jurisdiction Planning

The articles of the manifesto are maintained by the Association for Jurisdiction Planning, and its members subscribe to them: a member stays on the side of the family, curates and arbitrates only, never gains at a client's expense, and diversifies between jurisdictions (Articles 1 to 4). The Association is being formed. The undertaking a member gives each family is set out in the Association's Charter, which will be published here when the Association is constituted, with its date.

Practices that subscribe to the articles may cite the Journal and link to it. The Journal names no practice and links to none.

What it publishes

The manifesto, which is the founding text. The numbered principles that elaborate it, each under the article or law it develops. Standing instruments, beginning with the JP Success Index, published with full methodology. Dossiers, the deep studies of one jurisdiction at a time. Briefings that track laws in motion: a bill filed, a window closing, a rate climbing. Every publication carries a citation line and a review date, because in a field about moving targets an undated page is a dead page.
