Career
I head up the Private Client team in the firm’s Gatwick office. My role involves advising high net worth UK and non-UK domiciled clients on a wide range of tax and estate planning issues, devising and advising on structures to hold, protect and pass on their wealth.
I work closely with clients to understand and help them achieve their personal goals and objectives at every stage of their life.
My experience includes designing and implementing estate plans for individuals, married couples and families to ensure that the wealth they have created is preserved by protecting against inheritance tax and the risks arising from possible divorces, family disputes and financially immature heirs.
I also act in the administration of high value and complex estates, am a trustee of a number of dynastic trusts and charities and am a Court of Protection appointed deputy for clients who have lost capacity.
