I am a solicitor and qualified in February 1990. I spent my first 28 years of practice in the West End of London before being head hunted to join one of the oldest firms in Uxbridge where I stayed for 8 years. I returned to the West End in October 2024 joining Child & Child Law Limited as a partner in the Private Wealth team.
I have many years’ experience as a solicitor in the field of Private Client and Private Wealth matters with Legal 500 firms in London.
Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with high-net-worth individuals and families both resident in the UK and overseas. I also have longstanding experience in advising clients and elderly clients on protecting their assets for future generations by using family trusts and carefully drafted wills. I also act as an attorney for people who have no family of their own.
My legal practice includes the following:
- Wills, will trusts and codicils
- Lifetime trusts
- Vulnerable person’s trusts
- Lasting Powers of Attorney
- Advance decisions
- Estate tax returns
- Capital gains tax returns
- Asset protection for future generations
As well as the dedicated Tax and Immigrations team at Child & Child, I have built up wide-ranging network of trusted contacts who can provide my clients with advice on UK and cross border tax matters and associated issues.
I aim to provide my clients with comprehensive and clear legal advice that ensures their legacy for multiple generations.
Outside of work, I like to cook (although my wife despairs at the mess) and bake. My long matured (4 month) Christmas Fruit Cake which I make during the last week of August has become a family legend.
I am also keen walker, often seen accompanied by my side kick Whisky (our Labradoodle dog and not a hip flask). On the sporting front I have been a Gooner since 1968 and am an American Football fan, having supported the San Francisco 49ers since 1984. During the cricket season you will often find me at either Lords or the Oval.
