Practice Areas

Emma is a Partner in Forsters’ Private Client team. She advises on a broad range of personal taxation and wealth planning matters and has extensive experience of advising high net worth families on complex cross-border estate planning. She leads a specialist team of lawyers, who focus on advising individuals and families with US connections.

Emma also advises on the creation and use of trusts as a means of succession planning and preserving family wealth, including advising non-UK domiciled clients on the creation of excluded property trusts to shelter assets from UK inheritance tax.

Her work for international clients includes providing advice in relation to the UK rules on residence and domicile, and the remittance basis of taxation. This advice is often given in the context of advising those who are moving to the UK for the first time. She also advises on the tax implications of acquiring UK property and the structuring options available.

Emma has vast experience in tax and estate planning for individuals and families with US connections, and is widely recognised as a specialist in this field. Her familiarity with US personal taxation and wealth planning strategies enables her to assist her US-connected clients in navigating the interaction between the US and UK regimes. She is also a frequent speaker on matters of Transatlantic tax and estate planning, both in the UK and overseas.
