Private client

Asset protection, legacy planning and wealth preservation are key priorities for clients to manage. For business owners, separating business risk from personal wealth remains an imperative. For families, wealth distribution and ensuring smooth transition to the next generation are key concerns. 

With a focus on key objectives for clients, our Private Client Law team advises on structures and strategies to meet their objectives.  Being part of the global EY network enables us to deliver a cohesive and comprehensive suite of practice solutions to support our clients. 

Attuned to industry trends and developments our practitioners possess the credentials, experience, and expertise to provide practical advice and deliver results. 

We draft bespoke wills, set up trusts and provide legal support for family offices.  Additionally, we advise on family governance, generational transition, and emigration.  We understand the importance of laying solid foundations for lasting legacies and meeting client objectives.
