The '''Founding Partner''', [[Directory:Garreth Westwood|Garreth Westwood]] (''Gearóid Ó Siarcoil'') was very active in alerting the Irish Abroad community about changes to the '''Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act''' (INCA) which would mean that many non-Irish spouses of Irish citizens would soon lose the ability to file a '''Post-Nuptial Declaration''' of Irish Citizenship.<ref name="Civitas News (DualCitizen.net Blog)">{{cite news |url=http://blog.dualcitizen.net/2005/11/garreth_westwoo.html |title= Irish Citizenship by Marriage Update. |accessdate=2007-02-23}}</ref> He has also been active in giving talks in the United States and in Canada warning Irish-Americans of little-know changes to INCA that may prevent some people to pass Irish citizenship on to their children.<ref name="Ezine Articles">{{cite news |url=http://ezinearticles.com/?Garreth-Westwood:-What-is-Your-Citizenship-Strategy?&id=308357|title= Garreth Westwood: What is Your Citizenship Strategy? |accessdate=2007-02-23}}</ref>

A significant number of clients are individuals that tried to apply on a '''pro se''' basis but were rejected or delayed by the consular process. By combining the power of forensic genealogy with the advocacy of legal caseworking, Dual Citizen Consulting is uniquely placed to help clients navigate both the time-consuming transatlantic family history research and the governmental red tape. Through his influence, Mr Westwood has had some '''groundbreaking legal precedents''' successfully getting one client's claim to Irish citizenship approved based on purely secondary sources when the primary birth certificate of the Irish antecedent was unavailable. <br>
While many clients are claiming '''Irish Dual Citizenship''' for sentimental or heritage reasons, a growing number of clients are using their Irish citizenship as a doorway to business opportunities in the [[European Union]]. Some clients wish to retire to Ireland or to another member of the European Union. In response to demand from its clientele, Dual Citizen Consulting is adding '''international property search''' and '''international financial services''' to its offerings. International businesses that relocate to Ireland can avail of a 10% corporate tax rate while Dual Citizen Consulting has helped a number of American writers and artists apply for the '''Irish Resident Artists' Tax Exemption'''.
