Recommended in the Legal 500 2019 editorial with the comment: “very strong and capable of handling delicate matters for demanding UHNW clients”.

I advise some of the firm’s largest family clients regarding their wealth structuring, succession planning and trusts. My focus is primarily on UK resident and/or domiciled individuals, trustees and beneficiaries, with a particular interest in cross-border taxation and succession issues affecting UK expats in France and Malta.

I also have experience providing tax and trust advice in the context of matrimonial disputes and pre-nuptial agreements.

In addition to the firm’s own Foundation, I have established and registered a number of charitable trusts and companies for clients.

I am a member of STEP (the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners).

I am listed as a Rising Leader in the Private Client Global Elite Directory 2023 which is a list of the world’s elite lawyers advising UHNW clients nominated by peers.

I was awarded the Gold award for “Lawyer of the Year – Partner” in the Citywealth Future Leaders Awards 2021 and the Silver award for “Lawyer of the Year – Partner” in the Citywealth Future Leaders Awards 2019. I was also selected as one of the 2019 Citywealth Future Leaders Top 100: Super Advisors and one of the 2017 Citywealth Future Leaders Top 100.

I have been recommended in the Legal 500 2019 editorial with the comment: “very strong and capable of handling delicate matters for demanding UHNW clients”.

I was also named as one of eprivateclient’s Top 35 Under 35 in 2014.
