About the role

The team cover a range of matters for high and ultra-high net worth clients. They have specialists in all areas of trusts, estates and tax with members of the team advising clients with international, agricultural, literary, business and other assets. Directors and Partners all specialise in particular areas, including acting as independent administrators in high net worth contested estates, advising on complex mental capacity issues, administering cross-border estates and advising agricultural clients. The team is recognised for its ability to work flexibly to find solutions. One example of this is the firm's Private Wealth Initiative in which members of the Corporate and TET teams work together to build succession and tax plans for business owners.
You will work closely with the Trusts, Estate and Tax team together with the other Private Client Services Partners and more generally across the firm, benefitting from this wide referral network.
