About

Provided by Mishcon de Reya LLP

Our expertise lies in structuring our clients' wealth so that their estate is protected now and in the future whilst allowing sufficient flexibility to address changing circumstances or unexpected turns of events. Our wealth planning solutions and structures are bespoke and tailored to each specific situation. These structures also offer the opportunity for asset diversification, flexible succession, tax and philanthropic planning.

The team advises on a range of private client matters including complex high-value estate administration and the preparation of tax-efficient wills with international aspects. We are one of a small number of firms that offers a tax practice spanning both personal and corporate tax. 

We are unique in our ability to address all aspects of a 'traditional' private client firm, but accompanied by the wider services we offer to ensure we provide a holistic approach to addressing all of our clients' needs. That includes non-contentious and contentious advice on privacy and reputation, family governance, international business structuring, immigration, residential property and family matters.

The work we undertake is often cross-border, complex and multi-jurisdictional as well as UK-based.

We advise our clients on all of the following aspects:

  • UK and international tax
  • Trusts (including trusts disputes)
  • Asset protection
  • Structuring and lifetime planning
  • Cross-border estate planning and probate
  • Residence and domicile status
  • Philanthropy
