UK and International Private Clients
Our specialist teams of advisers provide guidance to individuals and their families on a range of matters across a number of sectors.
This includes estate planning and wealth structuring, trusts, wills and powers of attorney, domestic and international tax, regulatory work, employment, immigration, residential property and landed estates, family and matrimonial advice, and philanthropy.
Our client base includes high net worth individuals and their families, often spanning several generations but just as likely to be new entrepreneurs, family estates, trusts and investment vehicles, institutional trustees and family offices, and foreign lawyers.
We deal with clients from a wide number of jurisdictions including continental Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, the USA and key international financial centres. There is a large cross-border element to our work and we are accustomed to working with clients’ other advisors in these jurisdictions, often as the orchestrators.
