The excellent team at Wedlake Bell LLP is led by Caroline MillerMatthew Braithwaite, and Nick Mendoza. Camilla Wallace also plays a pivotal role in the department, advising high-net-worth individuals, both UK and non-UK domiciliaries, on estate planning to mitigate inheritance tax. Wallace is also skilled at advising on measures to control the devolution of estates by way of lifetime gifts, trusts, and tax-efficient wills. George Merrylees is another key figure. His focus is on high-net-worth individuals who move to the UK as fund managers, business owners, and those who have moved to set up family offices and funds. In team news, Sanjvee Shah joined the team from Taylor Wessing LLP in February 2024.
