This results in a seamless service, based on a deep understanding of what matters most to you.
How we can help you:

- Tax Advice centered on the establishment and administration of trusts as well as Family Investment Companies

How else can we help you with your private wealth?
- Advising you on property, which might be your personal home or an investment. We’ll explain all the tax implications and minimise their impact, and help with your acquisitions, sales and portfolio management.
- Alternative investments. There may be areas you’ve yet to explore, such as art, classic cars, yachts or others. We’ll advise on values, likely returns, security and putting together a portfolio.
- Philanthropic giving. There’s an increasing enthusiasm for supporting environmental ventures, from preserving biodiversity to generating clean energy. We can direct you to those with the most promising potential or track records, and structure your support appropriately. We are also experienced in advising on and donating to a wide range of the more traditional charities.
- Family Investment Companies. Estate planning is something you’ll want to get right, but it can be difficult to decide on the right vehicle. Family Investment Companies are now often preferred to Trusts, and we can explain why, and help you set up your FIC for optimum tax efficiency. For more information, click here.
