Paul Fairbairn

Spear’s Review

A trusted adviser to his clients at Cripps, Paul Fairbairn works with HNW families to help structure the ownership of their assets across generations in a tax-efficient manner, often in advance of major ‘realisation’ events.

He regularly advises clients who are not domiciled in the UK, and has extensive experience in advising owners of large rural estates on their succession plans, heritage assets and tax planning.

‘The law in this area can change overnight, and this keeps my role exciting and what I do relevant to all,’ Fairbairn tells Spear’s. ‘In my experience, clients are looking for someone who can cut through the jargon to give them confidence in what they are doing.’
