Private wealth

With over two centuries of experience, we'll help manage, protect and grow your private wealth.

Everyone has different goals and priorities when it comes to their private wealth. We'll work with you to understand what you want to achieve, so we can provide the best advice for you.

Our team has been helping people, families and advisors for 200 years, so we know the legal and tax systems that could affect your wealth inside-out, enabling us to develop the right options for your particular circumstances.

As well as being private wealth specialists, we collaborate with our colleagues across Mills & Reeve to provide expert advice on everything from philanthropy and property, to pensions.

Our experience

To set up the best structures and processes for you, we work closely with your other advisors, such as investment managers, family offices, independent financial advisors, tax advisers and accountants.

Some recent examples of our work include:

Advising on the administration of the £130 million estate of the founder of a nation-wide retail business who was living outside the UK
Intervening in the Supreme Court divorce case of Owens v Owens. This work directly led to a government consultation on “no fault” divorces.
Establishing over 80 family investment and personal investment companies
Advising consortia on land pooling arrangements
Ensuring the largest family shareholders in a £400million company protected their continuing interest and involvement in the business
