We plan to build on this position by further establishing national centres of excellence for this work, investing in client feedback and making sure that the service we offer meets their needs effectively.

We are carving out a reputation for high-quality advicethat clients can understand and which really helps them achieve their goals. I’m looking forward to leading the Tax, Trusts & Estates team as we seek to help many more private clients in the coming years.
“George is an example of someone who has gone from strength-to-strength at Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth.His work advising clients on international tax, trusts and estates, particularly for matters involving French-speaking countries, has made him a regular fixture of the Anglo-French legal world. As Brexit affects our lives more and more over the next few years more people will need international expertise as they review their lives and finances.”
