Justin Ripman

Spear’s Review

‘Many of my clients say to me, “Justin, you know more about our family than we do,”’ said Justin Ripman, a senior partner jointly responsible for Mills & Reeve’s business strategy and who has more than 30 years’ experience in the complex world of private wealth and landed estates.

‘And to a certain extent, that’s true. You talk to all different generations of the family, and they sometimes come to you because they find you easier to talk to than someone else in the family.’

One glowing testimonial from a client summarises his demeanour, saying: ‘He is a bright, erudite lawyer who knows exactly what he is doing.’

Previously at Macfarlanes, Ripman enjoys understanding families and developing personal relationships with those whom he advises – namely entrepreneurial clients in London and landed gentry based in the rest of the UK.
