High Net Worth Specialists - connected lawyers for a complex world
Our approach
Highly successful clients have a wide range of complex legal needs which often overlap and require a long term and strategic approach. Advising discerning and successful clients is fundamentally based on strong interpersonal relationships and time-honoured trust.
Our clients are highly sophisticated and intelligent. Legal competence alone isn’t how they choose their lawyers and law firm. It’s based on commercial insight, personal relationships and confidence.
Our High Net Worth team has a range of specialisms, but we often need to find the right expert (based on experience, competence, approach and personality) either within other departments in our firm or externally, in the UK or internationally. Clients come to us because they trust us to get the right people in place for any given issue or situation and to take the lead and responsibility in finding and implementing the best solution, whether it’s to protect and preserve assets, strategic acquisitions, international tax planning or legal problems or disputes. Our clients return to us because they trust us.
