Emma is a partner in our private client and tax team.
Emma specialises in UK tax, trust and succession planning advice for modern families and globally mobile individuals.She is frequently involved with inter-generational wealth transfers and multi-jurisdictional trust re-organisations to ensure that historic structures remain fit for purpose. Working alongside foreign counsel around the world, Emma provides integrated advice on the optimal solution from an asset protection, tax efficiency and family governance perspective. She has particular expertise in US/UK estate planning and collaborates regularly with her US qualified colleagues at Withers in this regard in order to minimise cross-border tax leakage.
Emma's practice spans (i) the design and implementation of estate plans, (ii) the creation and administration of trusts, (iii) advising on residency and domicile matters and (iv) preparing individuals for their entry to, or exit from, the UK. She has a keen interest in charitable and philanthropic advisory work, including the integration of ESG and impact investing objectives across wealth holding vehicles.
Emma enjoys the challenge of aligning strategic goals with multiple, often competing, objectives. She aims to design solutions that are technically elegant, yet practical. In doing so, she builds strong relationships with her clients and provides holistic estate planning advice tailored to their specific needs and values.
