Matthew Briggs

Practice Areas

Matt advises UK and international families on how to structure their affairs to preserve and protect wealth across generations. With over a decade of experience in tax, trusts and estate planning, he provides clear, strategic advice to support the smooth transition and responsible stewardship of family wealth.

Matt guides families through the complexities of succession, relationships and governance with a thoughtful, common-sense approach that fosters transparency and unity so that wealth supports family cohesion, rather than contention. His work spans both personal wealth and business interests, often involving complex dynamics such as cross-border issues, tax considerations and sensitive family matters, with advice tailored to reflect each client’s values, goals and long-term vision.

He works closely with colleagues across the firm - including specialists in family, property, corporate and immigration law - and with a wider network of external advisers, such as accountants and financial planners, to ensure that clients benefit from co-ordinated, technically robust strategies across all aspects of their legal, financial and business affairs.
