Taylor Walton LLP‘s private client department is well regarded for offering ’comprehensive legal advice across multiple fields’, including tax implications, successions planning, trusts, Lasting Powers of Attorney, and probate work for a multi-jurisdictional client roster consisting of high-net-worth individuals, business owners, entrepreneurs, farmers, and charities. Alex Drake draws on decades of experience to head the St Albans-based practice and often acts as executor, trustee, or attorney in complex private client matters. Alison Voyce brings substantial experience in a range of matters and has built an impressive client roster of high-net-worth individuals. With particular strength in inheritance tax, business protection, and succession planning, Steve Hamilton is another name to note.
