Camilla is a managing associate in the private client team, based in Oxford. She has a wealth of experience advising individuals, families, trustees, and business owners.
She supports the team in delivering a broad range of private client services, with particular expertise in business and agricultural matters. Her specialisms include capital taxes and succession planning through utilising a variety of structures, including trusts, partnerships, companies, sole trading and family investment vehicles. Camilla is a trusted adviser to many clients, often on a multi-generational basis, on complex inheritance and capital gains tax issues, and is known for her pragmatic and strategic approach to wealth structuring and estate planning.
In conversations with clients about future wishes and legacies, I take the time to understand the elements that are important to them and offer guidance on their needs and concerns are always at the forefront.
Since qualifying in 2007, Camilla has held positions at other Legal 500 and Chambers-ranked law firms, a ‘Big Four’ accountancy firm, and worked in-house as a senior tax adviser at the Country Land and Business Association. This breadth of experience gives her a unique perspective on the intersection of legal, tax, and commercial considerations in private client work. Camilla regularly collaborates with corporate colleagues to provide solution-driven, holistic, tax-efficient advice to clients on their personal and business matters.
