I advise high-net-worth individuals, families, professional advisers, and UK companies on complex matters involving international tax, private wealth, corporate structuring, and dispute resolution, frequently with a cross-border dimension.

 

My practice is deliberately focused and structured to provide clear, considered, and strategically sound advice in matters where legal, tax, and international considerations intersect.

I am frequently instructed by solicitors, accountants, trustees, and family offices, as well as by private clients and companies directly.

​

Core Areas of Practice

 

My work is centred on four principal areas.

​

International Corporate Tax & Structuring

 

Advising UK companies on reducing tax exposure through compliant, treaty-based international corporate structuring. This includes:

• Cross-border holding company structures

• Group reorganisations and re-domiciliation

• Treaty-based tax planning

• Substance-driven international structuring aligned with UK, EU, and OECD requirements

• Notarisation and legalisation of the resulting corporate instruments for use abroad

 

Private Wealth & Succession

​

Advising on the structuring, preservation, and succession of wealth, both within the UK and internationally. This includes:

• Cross-border estate planning and succession structuring

• Trust creation, restructuring, and administration

• Inheritance tax planning

• UK and offshore corporate structuring for private clients

• Probate and estate administration

These matters often involve coordination across multiple jurisdictions and require careful alignment of legal, tax, and practical considerations.

 

Notarial & Cross-Border Legal Services

 

As a Notary, I provide notarisation and legalisation of documents for international use, including:

• Apostilles and embassy legalisation

• Powers of attorney

• Corporate and personal document authentication for use abroad

This authority sits alongside my advisory work, allowing me to structure and execute cross-border legal and tax matters without instructing a second professional.

 

Dispute Prevention & Resolution

 

Advising on the avoidance and resolution of disputes arising in a private wealth, corporate, and international context. This includes:

• Probate and inheritance disputes

• Trust disputes

• Shareholder and corporate conflicts

• Cross-border estate and succession conflicts

• Negotiation, mediation, and arbitration

Particular attention is given to strategy and enforceability, especially where assets or parties are located in multiple jurisdictions.

Approach

My work is characterised by:

• A structured and analytical approach to complex matters

• Careful consideration of both legal and commercial outcomes

• A focus on cross-border effectiveness and enforceability

• Discretion, professionalism, and clarity at every stage
