Piers Mastersays:

It is excellent to see such a strong set of results across the Charles Russell Speechlys’ Private Wealth teams over the past 12 months. We are particularly pleased to have had new rankings in a number of areas, and to have improved our rankings in others. We could not have achieved these outstanding rankings without the support and trust of some of the world’s leading families and their businesses. We look forward to our continued and ever deepening commitment to being advisers of choice to global and UK Private Wealth and Private Capital clients over the coming years, with exciting plans for continued growth.

William Marriott, adds:

These results are testament to the hard work, dedication and excellence of our teams.  The comments and endorsements we have received highlight the depth and breadth of our global firm, and confirm our efforts to understand and advise on the challenges faced by our clients.  A fantastic set of results which demonstrate another step forward for us in private capital, and being at the intersection of personal, family and business.

Chambers High Net Worth differentiates the best professional advisers for international private wealth by identifying and ranking law firms, lawyers and a range of other professional advisers globally.
