Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘Introduced through a wealth manager who had used the firm previously for similar matters. Personally, I feel their strength is being able to navigate the complex area of inheritance planning for individual in a family business structure. They were happy to attend meetings with other persons involved in tax and inheritance planning such as accountants and wealth management.’
‘Chris Hopkins was approachable and sensible in matters which can sometimes be lead by the head or the heart. He played devils advocate to ensure options were considered which may not have been originally included in the structure.’
