Charles Russell Speechlys LLP's ‘hugely experienced' Cheltenham-based team is capable of advising on a wide breadth of private wealth issues, ranging from tax and estate planning for family business clients to cross-border trust and asset structuring, as well as trust administration involving landed estates. The team further benefits from integrated firm-wide expertise in real estate, commercial, charity, and agriculture matters, enabling it to comprehensively serve a wide range of private clients based domestically and abroad. Henry Fea is a key contact for tax and succession questions involving overseas and UK non-domiciled clients, and he co-heads the team with Julia Cox, who chiefly advises entrepreneurial clients on succession planning. Christopher Page is vastly experienced with landed estates work, which is also a growing area of expertise for Katie Talbot.
