Tax & Private Client - Expertise Overview

loading, please wait...

Corporate and individual clients are faced with increasingly complex and constantly changing tax and regulatory rules. For corporates understanding the impact of these rules on their commercial transactions is crucial to their success. We understand the strategic importance of tax to our corporate clients and provide clear, timely and concise advice on all tax related matters.

The changing global landscape also poses new challenges for high net worth individuals as they seek to protect and manage their international wealth. Growing global transparency and international mobility mean that multi-jurisdictional issues need to be considered in almost all wealth and tax planning. But where family wealth and family businesses are concerned it is equally as important to take the non-tax concerns and needs of the family into account.

Berwin Leighton Paisner’s Tax & Private Client group has experienced explosive growth over the last few years, transforming itself into one of the most potent tax and private client teams in the UK. The breadth of its tax and private client capability is second to none. 

With 22 tax and private client partners including acknowledged market leaders in the field, coupled with a strength and depth of resources at senior and junior level, BLP is now the only large City firm to offer the full range of contentious and non-contentious tax advice to corporate and private clients, across corporate, finance, real estate, funds, indirect taxes, partnerships, personal tax, wealth structuring, trusts, foundations, estates and charities.

The group has a unique culture and unique offering.  It has grown to become one of the broadest based tax and private client practices in the City.  New joiners from the legal world, industry, HMRC and accounting firms, coupled with home grown talent, give it a rare professional diversity.  This allows us to absorb new and fresh ideas, and pick the best of what other firms do right, whilst retaining our trademark approachable, no-nonsense and friendly atmosphere.

In addition to outstanding technical advice, clients value the pragmatic and commercial approach of the group and the ability of the lawyers to get things done.

Our Tax & Private Client experts advise a wide range of clients including banks, funds and other financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate companies, retailers, public bodies, trustees and other fiduciaries, private individuals, family-owned businesses and charities.
