Partner and Estates, Succession & Trusts Practice Group Leader
Robin advises on all aspects of probate, succession and tax planning, often with an international element and acts as executor and trustee of complex estates and trusts (including pension funds).
He supervises the administration of estates with values ranging from the modest to the multi-million, often co-ordinating teams of professional advisers for major estates, trustee companies and institutional clients.
Robin is an author of Sweet and Maxwell’s ‘Practical Will Precedents’, wrote the chapters on Business and Agricultural Property for Tolley’s ‘Administration of Estates’ and is currently writing a new chapter on International Estates for the same book.
He has contributed to ‘McCutcheon on Inheritance Tax’, ‘The Lawyer’s Factbook’ and ‘Practical Tax Planning’ as well as to numerous legal and tax journals. He also lectures widely, particularly on aspects of international succession law.
Robin’s hobby is his boat on the Thames, which he is said, quite unfairly, to captain with the tact and discretion of Captain Bligh.
