Personal

Outside the office, Gideon is an avid boardgamer and computer geek. He built and maintains the Alper Law website himself, a task never delegated to an outside company.

Gideon Alper is a partner at Alper Law and leads the firm’s offshore planning practice: Cook Islands trusts, offshore LLCs, and associated U.S. IRS reporting.

Before entering private practice, Gideon served as a federal attorney with the IRS Office of Chief Counsel in the Large Business and International Division, where he handled complex international tax and collection matters.

Gideon works directly with business owners, physicians, investors, and families to build asset protection structures that shield wealth from creditors while meeting all tax and reporting obligations.
