Clients of Maurice Turnor Gardner LLP include foreign royalty, English aristocracy, entrepreneurs, businessmen and traditionally wealthy families. Other key clients are trustees and private banks, together with corporate trustee clients. These clients often require advice on commercial trusts and on major finance structures. Typically these clients have varied assets, which include listed and privately-owned companies, e-companies, cryptocurrency, robotics, real estate, and race horses. Led by Fiona Poole, the team is praised for its ‘unrivalled knowledge and expertise.’ It maintains its specialist focus on complex international and cross-border estate planning and succession structuring for UHNW clients. The group is further well-placed to help its clients protect and preserve their wealth for future generations, by using family charters and constitutions, trusts and other international asset holding structures. Ceris Gardner receives many plaudits. Clare Maurice and Jennifer Chambers are both highly recommended, while Eesha Arora and Claire Weeks are seasoned practitioners.
