Louise Jones

Senior associate

Louise is a senior associate in the private client team, specialising in trusts, tax and estate planning, and estate administration.

Often, the estates which Louise administers are complex, involving assets in multiple jurisdictions. She frequently works with lawyers and other professionals outside the UK to coordinate the administration of estates in those jurisdictions, for a joined-up approach. Louise also deals with conflicts of law and tax issues that arise in each applicable jurisdiction. Additionally, she advises trustees in relation to their duties as part of the ongoing administration of trusts, as well as preparing lasting powers of attorney and assisting vulnerable clients. Louise often acts as a trusted advisor to several generations of the same family, building long-term, trusted and supportive relationships.

My clients appreciate my caring, compassionate and supportive approach to complicated and challenging situations. I am able to break down and explain complex issues in a clear and straightforward manner so that they are simpler to understand and navigate.
