About Roger
With a background in UK and Spanish private client tax, I take a thoughtful, cross-border approach to help individuals and families manage their wealth with confidence. I’m committed to providing clear, empathetic advice that supports clients in making well-informed, tax-efficient decisions across jurisdictions and generations.
Roger is a tax advisor in the private client and Spanish law team with a strong international focus. He specialises in advising clients with connections to both the UK and Spain on personal tax matters, succession planning, and cross-border estate administration.
As a Spanish-qualified lawyer and an ATT-qualified UK tax adviser, Roger brings a unique cross-border perspective to clients navigating the complexities of two legal systems and tax regimes.
He works with high-net-worth individuals, international families, and executors administering multi-jurisdictional estates. His expertise covers UK and Spanish Inheritance Tax, Capital Gains Tax and Income Tax, as well as Spanish succession law, will structuring, and estate planning.
Roger also has particular experience advising on UK and Spanish pre-immigration and pre-emigration tax planning. He supports clients who are relocating between jurisdictions to manage their tax exposure, optimise timing, and structure their affairs efficiently. His advice often includes applying the corresponding Double Tax Treaty and identifying planning opportunities for individuals or those acquiring or disposing of cross-border assets.
Known for a calm and collaborative approach, Roger offers clear, practical advice on often sensitive and technical matters. Clients value his ability to translate complex tax and legal issues into straightforward guidance, while remaining attuned to family dynamics, long-term goals, and the emotional dimensions of wealth and inheritance planning.
