About

Provided by Currey & Co

Founded in 1812, Currey & Co has a long history of acting for prominent land-owning and other wealthy families throughout the UK. Clients of the firm include a number of the UK’s largest landed estates and wealthy mercantile families. Unlike other firms, we have chosen to focus on onshore clients, many of whom have been clients for numerous generations. However, our expertise is not limited to onshore advice and we do also advise on offshore and cross-jurisdictional matters as necessary.

Our core practice areas include:

  • Establishment of dynastic structures for the protection and preservation of assets
  • Tax, trusts and estate planning
  • Heritage property
  • Wills and succession planning
  • Family governance 
  • Complex and/or high value probates
  • Trust and estate administration

Currey & Co strive to ensure that each client receives the highest level of personalised service, which we believe can only be delivered through a partner-led approach and an intimate understanding of a client’s affairs. Our bespoke offering means that we continue to encapsulate the traditional “trusted adviser” role within a modern setting, acting hand in hand with other professional advisers to meet our clients’ needs over several generations. By virtue of the long term nature of our approach, Currey & Co is rarely able to take on discrete pieces of work for individuals with whom we have no previous association.
