Team Services

At Swinburne Maddison, we understand that protecting your family’s future is more than just managing legal matters; it’s about ensuring your wishes are respected and your legacy preserved. Our Private Client team works closely with individuals, families, and businesses, offering bespoke advice across a range of services, including wills, trusts, and estate planning.

We have a proud history of working with clients in the farming and agriculture sector, helping them navigate the complexities of succession planning and estate administration. With our deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by farming families, we provide tailored solutions to ensure your farm or estate passes smoothly through generations while safeguarding its future.

Our  STEP (Society for Trust and Estate Practitioners) -accredited team has extensive experience in all aspects of private client work, including probate, inheritance disputes, and powers of attorney. We’re also well-connected in the region, collaborating with independent financial advisors and tax specialists to offer a comprehensive service. Whether you’re managing a simple will or dealing with a complex estate, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Building long-term relationships with our clients is at the heart of what we do. Many of our clients return to us time and again, trusting us to provide the same high standards of care and expertise that have defined our firm since its founding.

In addition to our legal work, we’re proud to support our local community, working with charities such as Will Aid, Cancer Research and St Cuthbert’s Hospice. It’s another way we live our values of trust, care, and collaboration.

Let us help you take the next step in planning for your family’s future. Whether it’s protecting your business, ensuring your estate is managed as you wish, or providing sensitive support during life’s most challenging times, our doors are always open to you.
