Work Department

Private client; International.

Position

Nick’s main areas of expertise are tax and trusts, particularly the taxation of foreign domiciled individuals, the remittance basis and offshore trusts. He advises on suitable structures for foreign domiciliaries, tax-efficient strategies for extracting value from them and the tax consequences of their investment choices. Nick’s clients include entrepreneurs, directors, individuals with inherited wealth and trustees. Most of his practice has a foreign element (whether foreign residence or domicile or both) but he also acts for entirely UK based clients.
Although tax is usually a significant element in his practice, he also advises on structuring and estate planning more generally, and advises on disputes between beneficiaries and trustees before they become litigious. Nick has also successfully represented a number of clients in Revenue enquiries.
