Spear’s Review

Kyra Motley is a London-based tax and wealth planning partner in Boodle Hatfield’s well-established Middle East team, which serves clients in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and the UAE.

Acting for 25 individual billionaires, 50 families worth $500 million or more and a number of the Forbes top 100 firms in the region, Motley is very well acquainted with large, high-value estates and international assets held in complex structures over several jurisdictions. She has been going to the Middle East since 2010 and has seen a great deal of growth in both the economy and the number of British firms offering their services there.

‘When I first started travelling to the region, there were perhaps five other advisers. I think the Middle East will be one of the biggest economic hubs in the world going forward.’

With her team at Boodle Hatfield set to grow, Motley is in an excellent position to aid that development.
