Hannah Wailoo
Spear’s Review
A partner and co-head of Withers’ Middle East group, Hannah Wailoo provides advice regarding tax structuring, succession planning and tax mitigation. Her clients include individuals, trustees and families, many of whom are either based in the Middle East and possess assets in the UK or who reside in the UK.
In recent years, she has seen an uptake in clients from the Middle East seeking specialist tax advice and says that ‘significant changes to the UK taxation regime’ have resulted in international HNWs turning to professionals ‘to help [them] avoid potential surprises and pitfalls’.
Wailoo says that ‘the best part of the job is meeting clients and really getting to know them’ and that she is driven by the idea that the outcomes she produces ‘can make a real difference to people and their families’.
