Stephenson Harwood LLP has entered the Singapore private wealth arena with considerable success thanks to the efforts of Suzanne Johnston, who has previous experience of working for a magic circle law firm and a private bank. Her Singapore team now works closely with colleagues in Hong Kong, mainland China, Dubai, and London, with a focus on trusts, estates, family offices, multi-jurisdictional tax, and compliance issues. It frequently advises high-net-worth clients on their relocation to the UK and relevant structures for holding wealth and assets. The firm is also building its presence in crypto and digital assets, as well as ESG matters. Along with a range of high-net-worth individuals, the team also has numerous institutional clients, including trustees and insurance brokers. Yi Lee provides further senior expertise at the managing associate level.
