Private Client & Wealth Protection
Our Wealth Protection and Private Client lawyers focus on protecting clients’ wealth and planning for the future.
Typical issues that arise usually depend upon the value and location of assets, any resulting income and domicile of the client.
Whether clients are professionals, entrepreneurs, or individuals who have created or inherited wealth, they have unique and personal circumstances to provide for.
Lifetime Planning, Wills & Trusts
By making use of lifetime planning opportunities and tailor-making wills and trusts to our clients’ particular circumstances, we ensure that valuable assets are retained for future generations in the most financially prudent and effective way.
We advise both UK and non-UK clients and offer tax planning advice including in relation to trusts, offshore and otherwise, where appropriate.
Valuable network of experts
By being able to access top local tax accounting legal professional advisers and Trust Companies across the world, available to us through our membership of the International Practice Group, we are able to advise our national and international clientele on how best to hold their UK and overseas assets (either individually, jointly, through companies or trusts or a combination of both).
Whether assets comprise holiday homes, overseas deposits or interests in overseas businesses we have the expertise and connections with top local experts to deal with local legal and tax issues to mitigate tax and distribution difficulties.
Lasting Power of Attorney
We advise clients on Lasting Powers of Attorney and related matters to ensure their affairs are handled by people they trust and have extensive experience of Administration, Probate, Trustee and Probate Disputes and highly specialised Court of Protection issues.
