I advise on the structuring, protection, and succession of wealth, with particular focus on international families, entrepreneurs, and complex asset bases. My work sits at the intersection of trust law, tax awareness, and cross-border legal strategy, ensuring that structures are not only effective on paper, but resilient in practice.

​

Core Areas of Work

​

• Trust structuring (UK and international)

​​

I design and advise on trust structures across jurisdictions, including discretionary and bespoke arrangements tailored to the client’s objectives. Particular attention is given to control, flexibility, asset protection, and long-term viability under cross-border scrutiny.

​

• Cross-border estate and succession planning

 

I advise on the transfer of wealth across generations where assets or family members are located internationally. This includes addressing domicile, forced heirship regimes, and conflicts of law, ensuring that succession operates as intended.

 

• Wills and international probate strategy

 

I prepare wills and advise on estate planning frameworks that operate effectively across jurisdictions, including coordination of multiple wills where appropriate and planning for efficient estate administration.

 

• Family holding and investment structures

 

I advise on the use of companies and other structures to hold and manage family wealth, including governance, control mechanisms, and succession planning for family-owned assets.

 

• Inheritance tax planning (UK and international exposure)

 

I provide strategic advice on managing inheritance tax exposure through structuring, timing, and long-term planning—ensuring alignment with both legal requirements and broader family objectives.

 

• Family offices, founders, and internationally mobile clients

 

I am frequently instructed by entrepreneurs and family offices to advise on structuring personal and business assets, particularly where there is international mobility or multi-jurisdictional exposure.

 

• Asset protection and intergenerational planning

 

I design structures intended to preserve wealth across generations while mitigating risk arising from future disputes, creditor exposure, or jurisdictional uncertainty.
