Simplifying the Affairs of Wealthy Individuals & Families - We spend time with our clients discussing their objectives, goals, and family values so that we fully understand what they want to achieve. We work alongside them and any existing advisers to develop structures designed to meet those objectives, which may be maximising the protection of the wealth and assets, or facilitating succession planning, or simply bringing order to their financial affairs.
Our experienced team can advise on all aspects of UK and UAE taxes, and we work closely with a network of trusted advisers in other jurisdictions to develop solutions for clients with assets across different countries.
The Advisory team is headed by Leonie Kerswill, an ex - PWC London tax partner, who has been advising clients in the region for over a decade. Our team all have a number of years of UK tax experience which allows them to bring informed guidance to most situations. This is not only valuable when developing structures but also when providing clients with assessments on their existing arrangements.
