Private client lawyers

Since our founding in 1896, we have built our firm around the needs of individuals and families. We remain the only global law firm dedicated to the personal and private capital needs of our clients, acting as your trusted advisor wherever you are in the world.

We have represented successful individuals and families for over 125 years.

Today, we are the only global private client law firm dedicated to the personal and private capital needs of high-net-worth individuals and families.

Many of our clients' needs are purely domestic. Others are international families with interests in a number of locations. In a fast-moving and increasingly compliance-focused world, the need for integrated advice that reaches across borders has never been greater. With offices across Europe, the United States and Asia-Pacific, we provide legal advice for private clients on an international scale that other law firms cannot match.

Whether you require advice on legal and tax structuring for your business and investments, family and business governance, tax and estate planning, or help with a vulnerable person in your family, our private client lawyers will deliver tailored solutions to meet your specific needs.
 

Solicitors for private clients from every walk of life

Our clients have achieved success in many fields and range from senior executives to multi-generational families, owners, managers and investors in private capital, and some of the world's wealthiest people. In Europe, our private client solicitors have represented 74% of The Sunday Times Rich List and over 25% of The Forbes 400 List of Richest Americans; in Asia, we act for 35% of the Hong Kong Forbes Rich List and 52% of Forbes Singapore’s 50 Rich list.

We act not just as private client lawyers but also as trusted advisers, looking to build strong relationships with you and other professionals advising you. This is one of the reasons we are proud to have been asked to represent families down the generations.
