How we made a difference
We consulted Clare Savory, a senior associate, seeking advice about our estate planning and particularly how to minimise inheritance tax.
Legal 500 2024
Clare produced an admirably clear report about our situation and the options open to us. She explained and justified her recommendations, with references where needed, in a way that gave us added confidence.
Legal 500 2024
Clare showed remarkable retentiveness of the background and of her communications with us. This meant that she was often able to provide very well-informed advice or comments without the delay that would have occurred if she had had to go through all our papers again.
Legal 500 2024
Clare made herself readily available and was happy to speak on the telephone at short notice when needed.

Clare Savory guided us in setting up a family trust for our children and grandchildren. It was the first time we had done this. She was immensely helpful and clear and didn’t mind how many questions we asked. The Trust is now set up. Along the way she provided some invaluable advice to one of our daughters who was buying a property while still being a part owner of another. She helped her subsequently in transferring her part-ownership to her sister. She was always very quick to respond, very thorough and very professional. I couldn’t recommend her more strongly.

Clare has recently worked with my organisation and has been helpful, professional and understanding throughout. As a new venture that took me out of my own area of expertise I was grateful and appreciative of Clare’s pragmatism and her ability to rapidly understand both the broad context of our venture and also the details needed to take it forward. Clare and her team have the qualities of being friendly and approachable whilst also being efficient and cost effective. I happily recommend Clare to you without reservation.
Private client
Clare has a delightful warm nature that encourages dialogue between lawyer and client. She has a sympathetic and friendly approach and we were assured that our wishes were understood.

I have worked with Clare on private client matters for over 10 years and have always found her to be extremely professional and knowledgeable in her field but also, most importantly, having an affinity with each client. When working with Private Clients of all ages and with differing needs, this ability to have the right ‘bedside manner’ is becoming increasingly rare. Clare is a credit to her profession.

We sought Clare's advice regarding transferring property and other assets to our son and grandsons. She explained the options to us very clearly, and having subsequently decided on the way forward she very efficiently and rapidly implemented the plans. Throughout our experience of working with her she responded by return to our email enquiries, both from her office and, I believe, from home. Her advice was comprehensive and clear, and we are confident that the solutions she recommended will be of lasting benefit to our family.
Private client
Clare has a great manner, good communication skills and attentive. We found our initial meeting with her regarding our wills very efficient and productive with prompt follow-up which enabled us to meet our own deadline. We were very pleased with the service she provided.
