Planora Law
Planora Law provides sophisticated cross-border transactions, tax, trust, estate, corporate and private wealth planning services to high-net-worth families, entrepreneurs and corporations with interests in Canada, the United States and China.
The firm is led by Yijin (Orlando) Wang, a lawyer licensed to practise in British Columbia, California and China. Orlando advises clients on complex legal and tax matters involving multiple jurisdictions.
Our approach is integrated and forward-looking. Rather than addressing tax, corporate, trust, estate and family matters in isolation, we consider how each decision may affect a client’s broader family, business and wealth-planning objectives.
From cross-border transactions and dispute resolution to sophisticated trust arrangements and succession planning, we help clients understand their options, manage risk and establish practical structures for the future.
We advise individuals and families on the tax and legal consequences of relocating between Canada, the United States, China and other jurisdictions.
We assist entrepreneurs, shareholders and corporations with the creation, reorganization and succession of cross-border business structures.
We prepare coordinated estate and personal planning advice for individuals and families whose lives, assets or family members span more than one jurisdiction.
We advise entrepreneurs, privately held companies and family-owned businesses on a broad range of corporate matters.

In the area of global wealth structuring, Orlando specializes in the design and implementation of sophisticated onshore and offshore trust mechanics across Canada, the United States, and China. His expertise spans core structures such as family trusts and Canadian Alter Ego and Joint Partner Trusts (AET/JPT), alongside specialized US tax-mitigation and wealth-holding structures.
