A One-Hour Webinar Every Quarter 2026—A New Topic Each Quarter (Scroll to see all dates below.)
Join us for just one hour during which the team at Dunhill Financial and the Adrian Leeds Group pinpoint topics that specifically concern North American expatriates living in France.
Our speakers include Brian Dunhill of Dunhill Financial, Thomas Dubancht of Bespoke Tailored Tax Solutions, and Adrian Leeds of the Adrian Leeds Group “French Property the American Way”. Each quarter, we will discuss a different topic and offer you a guest speaker.
Brian Dunhill is a Financial Planner with a core emphasis on concentrated positions and retirement planning for expatriates. His past roles at UBS, Lehman Brothers, and A.G. Edwards have provided him with extensive experience in financial analysis, compliance, and advisory services.
Thomas Dubanchet is a French tax lawyer and the founder of Bespoke Avocats, a boutique tax law firm dedicated to advising U.S. individuals and families living in, relocating to, or investing in France.
His practice focuses on cross-border private client tax matters, with a particular emphasis on estate and succession planning in a France–U.S. context. He assists clients in navigating the interaction between French tax residency rules, French succession law and inheritance tax, U.S. estate and gift tax rules, and the French tax treatment and reporting of U.S. trust structures. His work is aimed at preventing unexpected tax exposure, securing compliant filing positions, and structuring assets in a way that remains coherent across both legal systems.

With more than ten years of experience in international private client tax, Thomas advises on pre-move planning, trust regularizations, inheritance tax exposure, and the coordination of U.S. estate planning instruments with French wills and civil law constraints. He works closely with U.S. CPAs, U.S. estate planning attorneys, French notaires, and wealth advisors to deliver clear, coordinated, and actionable advice for families managing wealth across borders.
Thomas practices in English and French.
