Major international law firms and accountancy practices consistently choose to work with us on cross-border projects because of our outstanding legal expertise across the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Our experts advise on a complete range of private wealth structures from formation through the full lifecycle. We not only handle non-contentious and advisory work but, together with our contentious team, are able to help with all eventualities our clients may encounter.

Those clients include trustees, fiduciaries, family offices, settlors, beneficiaries and their advisers. We pride ourselves on being flexible and agile and on delivering creative solutions in an ever-changing landscape.
