Mr Iwan Williams

Work Department
Tax, Trusts and Succession
Position
I am a Partner in Michelmores’ Tax, Trusts and Succession team. I deal with all aspects of estate and succession planning and have extensive experience of advising high net worth individuals and business-owning families in relation to a wide range of succession and tax matters.
In particular, I work closely with landed estate owners, their trustees and professional advisers in relation to a range of taxation, trust and succession planning advice – it is always a privilege to be part of an advisory team that can help guide, preserve and enhance hugely significant and historic estates.
I also advise rural business owners and wealthy entrepreneurs on tax and estate planning issues, including passing assets to the next generation tax efficiently while retaining proper provision and control for the current generation. My practice has grown significantly in recent years to encompass specialist taxation and succession planning advice for landowners engaging in natural capital and BNG schemes – I much enjoy helping my clients plot a course through thorny issues in this evolving sector.
I am proud to say that I was named one of eprivateclient’s Top 35 Under 35 in 2020 and that I was awarded the Silver award in the “Lawyer of the Year – Partner” category at the Citywealth Future Leaders Awards 2022.
I am named as a key lawyer in Legal 500 2023 for Agriculture and Estates, ranked as Recommended in the 2023 Spear’s Tax Lawyers Index, and I am a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners.

Michelmores LLP‘s team is spread across a network of offices in the region, allowing it to comprehensively counsel local and national clients, as well as high-net-worth individuals with connections to the US, on a wide range of private wealth questions. Entrepreneurial clients benefit from James Frampton‘s knowledge of business property relief matters and extensive understanding of US-UK estate planning matters, while practice head Sandra Brown cements the team’s strong reputation for high-value trust administration. Edward Porter handles a wide variety of tax matters and is well regarded for his advice on trust and charity structuring and restructuring mandates. The team’s strengths in landed estate work were bolstered with the arrival of Iwan Williams from Shakespeare Martineau LLP as part of the opening of a new office in Cheltenham in May 2023.
