Trethowans LLP stands out for its broad capabilities advising on probate matters, including those involving foreign assets, and estate administrations. Described as ‘a highly effective and knowledgeable solicitor’, Mihiri Gajraj heads up the team in Southampton, and regularly advises high-net-worth clients on mitigating tax liabilities and handles succession planning issues for family-owned businesses. Kathryn Anderson is recommended for advising charities which are beneficiaries of estates. The team was strengthened by the addition of Leyla Whitlingum in Winchester, who joined in November 2023 from Phillips Law and adds experience in will drafting and estate planning.
