Private clients, trusts and charities.

William has over 30 years’ experience as a trust, tax and charities lawyer, specialising in high value trust and estate planning work.

Acting particularly for business owners, trust companies and landowners, his early experience in industry and his time as a corporate lawyer gave him an understanding of the commercial imperatives of his clients, and this need to provide a commercial service to its clients characterises the team’s work.

Much of his work involves ownership planning in relation to companies and estates, for both tax and succession purposes. His clients include some of the country’s wealthiest families, accountancy firms, corporate trustees and charities.  His commercial experience and approach to trust and tax issues results in a steady stream of new high value instructions. 

He also advises boards of charity trustees.
