KABA-SoCal upcoming events

KABA's Monthly Lunch Program (Wednesday, April 01, 2026)

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 07:00:00 GMT

We invite you to KABA's Monthly Lunch program — an opportunity to meet, connect, and catch up with other KABA members in an informal, small-group setting.

Once you sign up, we will sort you into a group of up to 6 members. Groups will be formed primarily based on your preferred geographic location and will rotate monthly, giving you the chance to meet new KABA members each month. Once groups are set at the start of each month, we'll leave it up to you to decide on the time and place that work best for the group.

Sign-up forms will be included in our weekly newsletter in the last week of each month — be sure to look out for it!

MCLE - Cross-Border Investment and Estate Planning (Wednesday, May 27, 2026)

Wed, 27 May 2026 19:00:00 GMT

KABA invites you to join in an MCLE Presentation
Cross-Border Investment and Estate Planning: Key Updates on Navigating U.S.-Korea Tax, Trust, and Asset Protection Strategies

As a follow up to last year's presentation, this panel will continue to explore the complexities, tax considerations, and asset protection strategies in cross-border investment between the United States and Korea, including recent legislative and regulatory developments affecting both jurisdictions, particularly legal updates on the Korean side - including foreign trust reporting obligations under the Act for the Coordination of International Tax Affairs and Korea's departure tax — alongside the application of the U.S. portfolio interest exemption in cross-border lending structures.

This legal update will be valuable for tax and estate planning professionals and the many individuals and families who manage assets across U.S. - Korea borders and need to integrate both U.S. and Korean legal regimes.
