Private Wealth

Managing a fortune, balancing the needs of a family and a business and maintaining a positive outward image is not always easy to do.

As the boundaries between personal life and business life continue to overlap, increasingly over many jurisdictions, we assist clients in their personal lives and in their roles as trustees, directors, managers and owners of land or business.

Many families have remained our clients through several generations and as such we have become experts in advising individuals, family offices and their businesses. Our advice covers all aspects of personal and corporate tax, family and corporate governance, immigration, residential property and family and divorce issues. We are pleased to be recognised as experts in our fields.

Our years of experience mean we are well-equipped to help UK and international clients throughout all the key decision-making stages of their life, and this includes resolving difficult family arguments. As well as a leading tax team, we are one of the few firms to offer market-leading advice when trusts or probate issues become contentious.

The focus for us has, and always will be, to provide clear and pragmatic advice that factors in the fast pace of change in the world of private wealth.
