Practice Areas

I advise clients on the full spectrum of private client issues including tax, succession planning, estate administration and probate, trusts and mental capacity.

My clients are UK and non-UK domiciled individuals (e.g. entrepreneurs, landowners and trustees), ranging from moderately well off to ultra-high net worth, who I advise on all aspects of UK taxation, with particular emphasis on Inheritance Tax and Capital Gains Tax, in the context of succession planning and specific deals and events.

I regularly work closely with other specialist lawyers, including those based in foreign jurisdictions (particularly the US, France, Spain, and the Republic of Ireland), to provide clients with seamless advice on domicile and residence issues, UK tax compliance and reporting, succession planning, capacity, trusts and international estates.

I advise on the creation, re-arrangement and UK tax implications of Trusts and other holding structures where families, business owners and trustees are looking to protect assets, save tax and create flexible structures which will last for generations.

I am well versed in administering a range of multi-jurisdictional taxable estates including those which comprise agricultural and business property. A particular interest is administering estates with a contentious element; I have acted for independent administrators appointed pursuant to a Court Order on multiple occasions. I also assist our contentious trusts and estates team and provide private client planning and technical support on high value, complex, contested estates and trusts.
