- Pre-arrival planning for a non-UK domiciled executive moving to the UK on secondment, coordinating with Italian advisers
- Restructuring an offshore trust and underlying company holding UK property, with beneficiaries in South Africa, Australia, and the UK
- Advising a UK/US couple on their estate planning, including reviewing a lifetime revocable grantor trust
- Administering an estate with significant farming-related assets and advising on APR and BPR claims
About you

You are technically strong but commercially minded, able to deliver advice in a way that reflects the client’s objectives, not just the letter of the law.
