Private client and tax
With a reputation built on years of industry expertise and a large, firmwide group of specialist private client lawyers, the Penningtons Manches Cooper private client team provides innovative, tailored solutions for UK and non-UK based clients, combining trusted guidance and technical excellence with a responsive, personalised service.
A leading, internationally-recognised team
Our experience ranges from personal wealth management, UK and international tax planning and asset protection to advising family offices, family businesses and fiduciaries on their clients’ diverse issues.
We enable individuals and investors to safeguard, grow and future-proof their wealth, addressing both short-term challenges and long-term strategies. Our warm, personal approach fosters strong, lasting relationships with our clients, many of whom have trusted us across generations. We advise on the transfer of wealth and responsibility to the next generation, and our clients appreciate our open, sensitive approach to bringing family members together to initiate conversations about their hopes and concern for the future.
We understand that every family or family business – regardless of their wealth – has issues and challenges that need to be resolved, and we are not afraid to think creatively about their situation and work collaboratively with our colleagues to find solutions that work for all family members and business owners. Increasingly, clients require a broader perspective as the lines between commercial and privately-owned assets blur. We draw upon expertise from across the firm to offer a completely integrated and bespoke service.
They are approachable and collaborative workers who make complex issues understandable.
International mobility and multi-jurisdictional interests are realities of modern life for many of our clients. We have a strong international capability, assisting UK-resident and non-resident individuals, international families, family offices and business owners in relation to their affairs across the globe. Our broad, international focus is supported by well-established links with law firms throughout the world. We are a member of Multilaw and the European Law Group, networks with representatives in over 100 countries, and many of our lawyers play leading roles in various international bodies.
Our full-service team retains its reputation by thoroughly understanding our clients’ objectives and working with them to deliver results. We are consistently acknowledged as one of the leading private client teams in the UK and are ranked in the latest editions of the Chambers High Net Worth guide and the Legal 500.
