‘An excellent practice that works very well on all levels’, Barr Ellison LLP’s personal wealth team assists with complex estate planning, establishing trust structures, multi-trust will structures, and administration of large estates. Leadership of the practice has changed, with former head Emma Parsons taking a career break, and Chantal Percival joining in March 2025 from Foskett Marr Gadsby & Head. She has taken charge of a team that includes Tim Metcalfe, Courtney Searle, Francesca Tubb, and the ‘highly efficient and top-notch’ Chris Jones.
