Why choose me

I like problem solving and helping people through complex situations to make it easier for them, which is why I chose to work in the private client sector. My work helps clients sort out their affairs and I work with individuals and their families, trustees of family trusts, beneficiaries of family trusts and individuals with foreign connections.

These situations can be sensitive and complex and I care about getting it right for my clients. I pride myself on a capable, knowledgeable, and professional approach and making the legal process as easy as possible for all clients. The legal specialisms I provide include succession and tax planning, wills, trust creation, trust advice, powers of attorney and estate administration.

Outside of work, I love to spend time with friends and family and I’m passionate about art and culture.

Questions my clients ask me

Yes, unless you have a crystal ball which tells you what life will throw at you. The consequences of not sorting out what will happen to your assets if you lose capacity or die can be terrible for your family and those close to you.

Not necessarily, you can discuss fees with your lawyer and get an estimate for work to be done. Not sorting things out can be much more expensive.

We can guide you through, so that you are better able to review your circumstances, understand the options and trade offs of different courses of action and have the information and guidance you need to decide which way to go.
