Professional Biography
Michael advises international individuals, trustees and family offices on tax, structuring and succession planning. His clients include entrepreneurs, private equity executives, family offices and trustees. Almost all his work has a complex tax background and a strong cross-border element. He has extensive experience advising international clients coming to the UK for the first time and existing UK residents on navigating the UK’s complex tax rules. He advises on establishing and running asset holding structures and family offices. He often works in tandem with advisers elsewhere to balance competing tax and practical demands in multiple jurisdictions, providing a consolidated cross-border service for clients.
