Rebecca is an experienced private client lawyer working with both UK and international clients, including families, family businesses and entrepreneurs, trust companies and family offices.  

Rebecca is head of our family office and has particular expertise in advising entrepreneurs and multi-generational businesses on wealth planning, succession and protection. These clients face their own unique set of challenges. At the heart of Rebecca’s approach is to gain a real understanding of the clients’ family relationships. This often involves pulling together a team from across the firm to use a range of legal tools to support the client and their family – this can include corporate, family, disputes and charity expertise. 

Rebecca advises families and coordinates professional advisers on significant sized estates and international probate, including the non- contentious aspects of administration of estates. This includes where there has been a dispute and our trust company, RCTC, is appointed.

Rebecca works closely with our trusts and estates disputes team. She regularly advises international clients on the inheritance tax and capital gains tax of property ownership in the UK. Rebecca has particular experience in dealing with Irish and US clients.

Rebecca has considerable experience advising individuals and family lawyers on the tax implications of separation and divorce. In particular, Rebecca provides tax and trust advice in the context of Schedule 1 proceedings (where financial provision of a child with unmarried parents).
