Private Wealth Law

About

Provided by Payne Hicks Beach LLP

Payne Hicks Beach has a longstanding reputation for providing top quality comprehensive private client advice.

We act for individuals, families, family offices/businesses, estates, trusts, trustees, including ultra high net worth clients from the UK and internationally (many of whom feature in The Sunday Times Rich List, Forbes 400 and the Arabian Business Rich List). We regularly advise non-domiciled families on the numerous tax changes that have been introduced and act for some of the UK’s oldest and largest landed estates. 

We build long term relationships with clients and, for families, these often span several generations.  

We advise on a wide range of issues. A core element of our work is helping clients to preserve and manage their wealth for their own benefit and for that of future generations. Another key area is cross-border estate planning and the administration of complex estates and trusts. We also advise on contentious trusts and estates.  

While many of our clients are based in the UK, a significant number are overseas or have overseas interests. We advise on a variety of offshore and international matters, including advising on tax aspects of pre/post-nuptial agreements and structuring of divorce settlements.

We have lawyers who advise in several languages and with our many connections with lawyers worldwide we are experienced in coordinating tax/legal advice from different countries. We liaise with other professional advisers to provide a seamless service.
