Private client

The management of wealth is of vital importance for the private client and often requires advice from an international perspective. The UK taxation of individuals and trustees has become increasingly complex as the UK Government pursues its mission to close tax loopholes. An individual who is domiciled or resident in the UK, or thinking of taking up residency or owning property there, should take advice on how to structure their personal and financial arrangements during their lifetime and plan the succession of their estate on death in order to preserve wealth and control its destination. 

Our service

We advise individuals, families and trustees. Our service ranges from wealth structuring for the very rich through to planning and advice for clients of more moderate means. We have long-standing relationships with many of our clients. 

Our private client team works closely with our tax team to provide specialist advice on all areas of taxation. We are supported by high level corporate, real estate, dispute resolution and pensions expertise to provide an integrated service to our UK and non-UK domiciled clients. Our private client team also works alongside our charities team to provide advice and services to charities and other not-for-profit organisations.
