Tom Lawrence leads the practice and has a strong track record in advising high-net-worth families and business owners on wealth management, while Stuart Maggs handles estate planning for ultra-high-net-worth families and trustees, frequently those with significant corporate or property holdings. Katharine Danks is a key adviser to farmers, families and landed estates. Director Lauren Abbs joined from Clapham & Collinge Solicitors in late 2023 to add skills in estate administration and succession planning. Senior associate Jan Tyler is also highly rated. ‘The sheer intelligence of the team and its abilities to solve issues for clients in difficult situations is second to none‘, remarks one client.
