'They seem to be able to do it all, often with minimum fuss to their clients. The team is also very collaborative with other professional firms and have an excellent network of professionals who can help.'
'The personal tax, trusts and probate team at Mishcon are quite different to the teams at other law firms. My feeling is that they understand that, at the heart of their clients’ private lives, are the shifting dynamics and relationships within their families and businesses. Mishcon also care deeply about their clients’ reputations, their property and homes, their personal assets and legacies.'
