Charles Frost

I am a Legal Director in Michelmores’ Tax, Trust and Succession team, advising clients on estate planning and succession strategies.

I have significant experience of working with business owning clients, including landed estates and rural enterprises, on efficient structuring for tax and succession. I spent three years in the management of a healthcare technology company and therefore bring a unique perspective to advising family businesses and entrepreneurial clients.

I grew up in and live in Herefordshire giving me a deep understanding of the rural economy and the importance of diversification.

In 2025, I co-launched MAINstream Cheltenham with Adam Kean, Partner in Michelmores’ Corporate team. MAINstream is an angel investment network connecting early-stage businesses with potential investors. Within its first year, the network facilitated £300,000 of investment through two pitch events.

I am a regular speaker on succession and inheritance tax planning, particularly following the proposed changes announced in the 2024 Budget. I have chaired panels at major events such as the Three Counties Show and Cereals, and have been featured in Citywealth, The Times, and alongside Jeremy Moody in coverage leading up to Cereals 2025.
