Whether establishing a new trust, administering an existing structure or resolving disputes, we distil clarity from complexity and bring confidence to decision-making. The guidance we provide gives you the assurance to act with foresight.
A joined-up view
Trusts often sit at the intersection of family, business and law. We take a holistic approach – advising on the legal, tax and practical implications of trust arrangements and working seamlessly with other professional advisers to ensure consistency across jurisdictions.
Our advice covers:
- Creation and administration of UK and international trusts
- Variation, restructuring and termination of trusts
- Acting as or advising trustees and protectors
- Family Investment Companies and alternative wealth structures
- Cross-border and tax-efficient planning
- Disputes concerning trustees, beneficiaries or third parties
Many of the trusts we advise on hold complex or international assets – from operating businesses to property, art and investments – requiring balanced advice that safeguards both value and relationships.
Quiet strength. Lasting confidence.
We understand that trust issues can be sensitive and, at times, contentious. Disagreements over control, succession or distribution can challenge even the closest of families. Our approach is pragmatic and calm – resolving disputes wherever possible through early intervention, negotiation or mediation, while always protecting our clients’ interests and privacy.
When litigation becomes unavoidable, our experienced disputes team acts with skill and discretion in the UK and overseas, ensuring matters are handled efficiently and with minimal disruption.
As a certified B Corporation, we are committed to integrity and responsibility in every aspect of our work – helping clients protect and manage wealth in a way that is both effective and ethical.

We look beyond immediate issues to anticipate future risks and opportunities – ensuring your trust arrangements remain robust, compliant and aligned with your intentions.
