The firm's client base is comprised of both national and international clients, and they act for wealthy families (across generations), high net worth business owners as well as media personalities and sports professionals. 

The boutique offering allows families an additional degree of privacy and separation between their personal and commercial affairs however, Private Client Solicitors do understand the two are often entwined and work in close collaboration with other industry professionals to provide holistic bespoke advice unique to the individuals circumstances - no two families or their situations are the same and nor should the advice they receive be!
