Position

 

Jonathan is a partner in Stephenson Harwood’s private wealth group and advises UK and international private clients, trustees, foundations, family offices and private banks on all aspects of tax, trust, estate and succession planning, regulatory, immigration and philanthropic issues. He also has significant experience in assisting families and trustees in responding to tax investigations and resolving disputes.

Whilst the majority of his clients have some sort of UK connection, a significant portion do not. As a result he is very experienced in complex cross-border estate planning, coordinating matters for clients whose family members and assets are located in or affected by different legal and tax systems.

Having spent four years as an in-house counsel to a bank in Bermuda, and many years as a partner in private practice, he puts forward workable solutions to his clients, be they individuals or private banks and corporate trustees, taking into account both perspectives.

Jonathan travels widely to see clients in the UK and overseas and regularly lectures or chairs conferences attended by clients and other industry professionals. He also publishes journal articles on topical issues and is frequently quoted in the national and industry press.

Jonathan Conder – Stephenson Harwood

 

 

The ‘very strong and friendly’ team at Stephenson Harwood has ‘continued to expand, the firm is hugely respected within the industry, and the quality of the partners is excellent, as is their advice. They are multi-jurisdictional and have continued to expand their services’.  It was pleased to add Beatrice Puoti to its ranks from Burges Salmon LLP. Puoti has considerable expertise in advising UK residents and non-residents, domiciled and non-domiciled individuals, private banks, trustees and family offices on their international tax, trust and estate planning issues. James Quarmby heads the department, which advises many wealthy clients ranging from multi-millionaires to ultra-high-net-worth (often high profile) individuals and families, with billions of pounds in assets. The clients are typically entrepreneurial and international. Emily Osborne leads the team’s family office advisory service. Jonathan Conder is experienced in acting for families with an US connection and also for families from SE Asia. Michael Rutili is another key figure who has become a trusted adviser to numerous, mostly European, private clients, their families and businesses.
