Notary (England & Wales) & International Private Wealth Lawyer, London

 

I advise high net worth individuals, families, and professional advisers on complex matters involving private wealth, trusts, regulatory risk, 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, financial, and international considerations intersect.

​

Core Areas of Practice

My work is centered on three principal areas.

​

• Private Wealth, Trusts & Corporate Structuring

 

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

• Probate and estate administration

 

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

​

• Financial Crime & Compliance Advisory

 

Advising individuals, trustees, and businesses in relation to financial crime risk and regulatory compliance, particularly in cross-border contexts.

This includes:

• Source of wealth and source of funds analysis

• Anti-money laundering (AML) advisory

• Risk management in international transactions

• Advisory in sensitive or high-risk matters

 

The emphasis is on risk identification, mitigation, and defensible positioning.

​

• Dispute Prevention & Resolution

 

Advising on the avoidance and resolution of disputes arising in a private wealth and international context.

This includes:

• Probate and inheritance disputes

• Trust disputes

• Cross-border estate and succession conflicts
