Private Client Services
Position
Simon has looked after high net worth individuals and families for more than 40 years, working in international accountancy firms, law firms, private banking and trust companies. He now focuses on advising UK and worldwide clients and family offices, with a particular emphasis on the Middle East. His work includes not only strategic advice, perhaps on succession or family governance, but also support on a wide range of operational matters and wealth management issues. He liaises with other advisers to provide informed and co-ordinated solutions.
Career
He joined Farrer & Co in 2017, to focus on services for client families. The scope of that work is very broad, including trustee issues, private trust companies, wealth structuring, family governance, compliance and administration. He often adopts an informed liaison or co-ordination role.
