Spear’s Review

A partner at Broadfield, Judith Millar is a tax practitioner who advises a range of clients with ‘substantial UK and non-UK trust interests’, as well as HNWs who require a tax lawyer’s opinion on domicile and residence issues. 

The Cambridge graduate, who is a member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, tells Spear’s of the need to be mindful of the potential for conflicts of interest when advising beneficiaries and trustees. ‘You’re taking on the role of a trusted adviser, but it’s a pretty delicate one as well,’ she says.

With more than two decades of experience as a private client adviser, Millar has a diverse practice, and is adept at advising on offshore elements, cross-border planning and contentious tax matters, which often involve fragile family relationships.
