Inheritance, estate and gift tax lawyers

We offer peace of mind when passing assets to the next generation. Whether your assets are based in a single country or spread around the world, we can help with inheritance tax planning so that the authorities do not take more than their fair share.

We advise many of the world's most successful families on how to pass their wealth to future generations.

Perhaps you are a US-UK couple looking to plan your estate, which includes assets in both jurisdictions. Perhaps you are not resident in the UK but are facing a double tax bill on an inheritance there. Perhaps you are UK resident and domiciled but wish to make lifetime gifts to members of your family.

Whether your wealth is based entirely in your country of origin or is spread widely around the world, we can assist with inheritance tax planning. We use flexible trusts, family limited partnerships and limited liability companies to ensure that wealth passes to the intended beneficiaries, and the government does not take more than its fair share.

Our international reach means that we are frequently asked to assist with cross-border cases where assets may be taxed twice. We also advise when penalties have been incurred.
