Work Department

Private wealth; private client.

Position

Piers advises on a full range of international and domestic personal tax, trust, succession and estate planning matters. He acts for some of the firm’s largest domestic and international private clients. His international work is broadly based, but he is particularly known for his work with Middle Eastern and Russian clients, where he acts for many ruling family members and billionaires. As part of his private client advisory practice, Piers advises on a number of high-net-worth personal immigration matters, notably applications for and extensions to Tier 1 (Investor) visas, and associated settlement and naturalisation work. The ability to offer joined up tax and immigration advice to private clients is unusual and often proves invaluable. Piers regularly writes articles, provides press comment, and speaks nationally and internationally, on matters of interest to high-net-worth individuals. Described as the ‘perfect homme d’affaires’, Piers has recently been named as one of the UK’s top ten private client tax lawyers by Spears magazine.
