Justin Ripman

Spear's Review

'Many of my clients say to me, Justin, you know more about our family than we do,' says Justin Ripman, a senior partner jointly responsible for Mills & Reeve's business strategy.

'And to a certain extent,  that's true, because, you know, 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,' he says.

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

The seasoned lawyer, who was previously at Macfarlanes, has more than 30 years' experience in the complex world of private wealth and landed estates. He enjoys understanding families and personal relationships with those whom he advises. He works for entrepreneurial clients in London as well as landed gentry based in the rest of the UK.
