Position

I am an associate solicitor based in Gatwick specialising in all work involved with Private Client.

Working closely with individuals and families to advise and in all aspects of Private Client, from cradle to grave and beyond.  Creating wills which consider mitigation of Inheritance Tax and planning for younger, perhaps vulnerable beneficiaries, whilst giving consideration and protection for possible more complex family dynamics, be that with pending divorce or disputes.  Lifetime planning is critical to ensure putting in place structures to ensure maximisation of asset protection.

I have specialist experience in advising the Elderly and Vulnerable and Later Life issues and planning, in relation to Lasting Powers of Attorney and registration of Enduring Powers of Attorney, as well as Court of Protection work including Deputyship and Statutory Will applications.

Being fully bilingual in French and English comes in very useful not just for my own clients, but helping colleagues too.
