Camilla Bridges

Associate

Camilla is an associate in the private client team in London, advising on a broad spectrum of private wealth issues, with a particular focus on UK and international tax and succession issues. She acts for domestic, non-domiciled and non-resident individuals, together with trustees, families and family offices.

Camilla is experienced in succession and estate planning, preparing wills and lasting powers of attorney, pre-arrival and pre-departure planning for non-UK domiciled individuals, as well as the creation of trust and other structures. She also deals with trusts and the administration of estates, including applications for grants of probate, post-death variations of estates and the re-sealing of colonial grants.

I am sought out for my ability to distil complex legal issues in an easily digestible and client-focused format. I aim to build long-term relationships with families and trustees to act as a sounding board and a reassuring pair of hands across the generations.
