    Professionals & Senior Executives Legal Services

Professionals & Senior Executives face a number of demands in their busy working environment, whilst also trying to maintain personal relationships.

As busy professionals ourselves, we understand that your time is at a premium dealing with your work and personal relationships.

We are able to move quickly to deal with your immediate priorities and put plans in place for change and uncertainty within a longer-term strategy. We will look after all your private client needs efficiently and effectively in one place, with full access to our wider business services where needed. Whether you need advice on Wills or lifetime giving, tax, business-related issues, philanthropy, buying or selling property or family disputes, we work as a single team across the UK and internationally to find the right solution to meet your objectives.

We can also assist with your global mobility at a time when this is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve.

As employers and partnerships face liquidity and revenue issues, there is increased pressure on income (reduced salaries and lost bonuses), alongside a rise in expenditure and general business demands. This is all against the backdrop of the need to support your own clients, suppliers and business partners, often coupled with wider commitments, e.g. as charity trustees, not to mention the day to day requirements of life.

We are very conscious of the pressures that you are under in allocating time to deal with your personal affairs and of the complete confidence and trust you need in your advisers to achieve the optimum outcomes you are looking for now. As required, we can also deal with your own business issues and restructures, including in relation to remuneration; looking at these holistically in the context of your personal position too.

We deal regularly with new start-ups with expertise in key sectors such as health care, digital and tech, as well as wealth businesses and boutique advisory firms.
