Spear’s Review

Melissa Maple is a solicitor known for her ability to demystify even the most complex of scenarios to her clients. As a partner and head of Rothley Law’s private wealth team, her practice covers all aspects of long-term wealth planning and the devolution of assets.

While she is skilled at advising on sophisticated tax and wealth structuring, her primary focus is helping her clients understand the values they are preserving alongside their wealth and how this will affect future generations. Impressed clients, the firm says, have reported of how her ‘delightful interpersonal skills ... win her praise and loyalty’.

Maple has more than two decades’ worth of experience in private client affairs, and, according to the firm, in recent years her advice has successfully led to tax savings worth tens of millions.
