I am a legal director in the private wealth team with a diverse practice acting predominantly for UK-domiciled private clients. I advise them on all aspects of wealth planning including wills, probate, mental capacity, trusts and tax, with a particular focus on charities and philanthropy.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of my role is the sheer variety of the work that I am involved in – no two days are ever the same but the most rewarding part is being able to really get to know clients and their particular circumstances when advising them about their affairs.
My approach is to provide clients with clear, concise and practical advice to ensure that individuals, families and trustees plan their affairs and formulate tax efficient strategies to achieve their objectives and preserve wealth for future generations.
