The Cambridge office of Mills & Reeve LLP has a deep bench of talent led by vastly experienced practice head Chris Belcher, who has a stellar reputation in advising wealthy UK and international individuals and families on tax, trusts and estates, including inheritance matters and capital gains tax planning. Belcher ‘clearly understands clients’ specific needs on a range of different matters, from the simplest to the deeply complex’. His team is noted for its ‘discretion, speed, accuracy, and simplicity’. The firm hired Lucinda Brown from Broadfield Law UK LLP, who brings a national trusts and estates practice. Principal associate Emma Geale and senior associate Katrina Hopkins are highly recommended by clients.

‘The team at Mills & Reeve goes above and beyond for us. They have strength in depth, so that we always have great access when required and in a timely fashion. We feel as if we are special clients and can rest easy, knowing that they always have our backs covered. In addition to having a London presence, their head office base in Cambridge makes them more accessible to our largely East Anglian organisation and more cost-effective. ’
‘Chris Belcher is a very experienced and personable partner at Mills & Reeve.
