Spear’s Review

Sean Bannister, partner and head of tax at Edwin Coe, says his clients appreciate his ability to provide ‘high-quality, technical advice’ as well as recommendations, taking away the stress of decision-making.

Bannister acts for HNWs and UHNWs and their advisers, many of whom have assets and business interests in multiple countries. ‘I have quite a lot of dynamic entrepreneur clients as well as professionals in financial services who want relatively quick answers to things. So the fact that they can speak to a partner is something that they find very useful,’ he tells Spear’s.

Among his many specialities, he is an expert in advising non-domiciled clients on navigating the UK tax landscape, as well as non-UK residents who are looking to acquire business or property interests in the UK on structuring their assets effectively.
