Our team and approach
- Our specialist wills team offers a broad range of expertise to meet individual clients' needs no matter how complex. We are particularly well regarded for our expertise in cross-border issues for wills and in international tax, succession and asset management matters.
- We work closely with other specialist lawyers including our French department to provide clients with seamless advice on matters such as inheritance tax, succession planning, capacity, trusts and international estates. The team includes Richard Frimston, who contributes a regular column on cross-border issues to the STEP journal and is a co-author of International Aspects of Family Law, published by Resolution.
- We know that clients often instruct us at difficult times to deal with sensitive matters and understand the importance of giving clear, timely and practical advice.
- Many of our lawyers are members of professional organisations such as the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and Solicitors for the Elderly.
