Friedland Law Partner Thomas Wong on The Golden Quarter Show: U.S. Families Looking Abroad and the Rise of Asia

As global mobility continues to evolve, more American families are exploring opportunities beyond their borders

As global mobility continues to evolve, more American families are exploring opportunities beyond their borders — and few understand this trend better than Thomas Wong, Partner at Friedland Law.

In a recent episode of The Golden Quarter Show (#TGQS), hosted by Lorena Jimenez Lopez, Thomas shared his insights on how investment migration and cross-border wealth planning are changing the global landscape. The fifteen-minute podcast, produced by CP Podcast, dives into key shifts shaping the future of international relocation and investment.

With a career dedicated to guiding high-net-worth families through complex global transitions — from moving their lives to restructuring their wealth and businesses — Thomas offers a grounded view of the motivations driving today’s mobility wave.

Key highlights from the episode:

  • Accelerating outbound U.S. demand: Why more American families are seeking second residency options abroad.

  • Renewed global hotspots: What’s behind the growing interest in destinations like Portugal, Thailand, and New Zealand.

  • The future of Friedland Law: How the firm continues to support foreign investors with independent, cross-border legal expertise.

Thomas and Lorena also discuss how the investment migration landscape in Europe is evolving — with shifting policies and renewed investor appeal — while Asia emerges as a rising player in global mobility.
