The Firm 

Blake Morgan has a reputation for building life-time relationships with its clients helping them to navigate through the commercial affairs and business challenges that affect their organisation as well as advising them on a range of personal issues. As a full-service law firm with offices across the UK and a wealth of expertise with 96 partners and 528 staff, Blake Morgan uses its unique blend of technical expertise, broader experience and commercial realism to get the best results possible for its clients – be they small businesses, corporates, individuals, families, government, or not-for-profits. The firm is trusted by many of the leading players within the areas in which it specialises. This includes international and national corporate organisations, 20 local authorities, central government departments as well as devolved regional government, four major high street and corporate banks, and leading supermarkets. Blake Morgan also advises over 100 schools, academies and universities on a wide range of legal issues.

Blake Morgan is known for our experience in advising high net worth individuals, entrepreneurs, business owners and families. We offer a wide range of traditional private client services, including wealth preservation, estate planning or administration (including international estates and cross-border matters), Will drafting, cross-border and UK tax planning, as well as issues relating to a loss of mental capacity and other family matters, such as nuptial agreements and sensitive legal issues concerning relationship breakdown and children.

We also act in contentious matters, including Will and succession challenges, Inheritance Act disputes, property ownership disputes involving trusts of land, proprietary estoppel cases, contentious court of protection claims and professional negligence claims arising in the context of succession and estates.

We can help ensure our clients assets are structured to grow whilst making use of valuable reliefs such as Business Property Relief, Agricultural Property Relief and Entrepreneurs’ Relief, to minimise the payment of Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains and Income Tax payable during lifetime or on death. We also provide residential conveyancing and property structuring advice. We take pride in seeing the bigger picture and understand that our clients' lives are more diverse and complex than ever before, so planning their finances and protecting their personal and families' wealth is full of challenges. We have strong links with other professionals, including accountants and financial advisers, whose skills compliment those of the lawyers in the team.
