Howes Percival LLP‘s private client practice is led from Norwich by Tom Lawrence but the firm is steadily building its presence in Cambridge through 'efficient, thorough' STEP member Stephen Patch, who not only handles high-value and complex matters for high-net-worth clients, but also acts frequently as an executor and trustee. Clients note that he 'strikes a good balance between professionalism and friendliness', and they praise the practice's ability to respond quickly to all enquiries.
