Position
Philip works in the firm’s wills, tax and trusts team and specialises in succession planning, asset protection, heritage law and tax advice for individuals, trusts and family businesses. His clients include owners of landed estates, farmers, high-net-worth individuals and their families.
Philip uses his extensive knowledge and practical experience to advise clients on the issues arising in estate planning including the tax efficient ownership of agricultural, business and heritage property. He deals with all aspects of wills and farming partnerships — advice which requires a high level of technical know-how combined with commercial acumen.
He also acts for trustees and beneficiaries on a range of trust issues including the scope of trustees’ powers and the interpretation of complex trust arrangements.
Philip takes time to understand his client’s circumstances and their particular needs and wishes. His clients want pragmatic legal advice from someone who empathises with the issues and challenges they face.
