Private Client
Our Private Client Lawyers advise individuals, trustees and financial institutions on wealth preservation and the mitigation of tax. In addition to national and international trust, tax and estate planning, we advise entrepreneurs and owner managers on personal and business tax, and corporate and business structures. Members of the department also provide advice in contentious areas such as Contentious Trust and Probate issues, and enquiries by (and disputes with) Tax authorities.
Clients include businessmen, entrepreneurs, professionals, landowners, farmers, foreign nationals and financial institutions.

'The firm's formidably talented private client lawyers are lengthening their stride. Possessing one of the largest departments in the country and demonstrating a national and international profile to rival the best, the firm's client summations of its "ultra-heavyweight clout" cannot be dismissed as hyperbole'.
