Spear’s Review

‘One of my favourite things about being a private client lawyer is that there’s a real technical side to tax, but there’s also a massive human element and it requires a lot of emotional intelligence,’ says Emily Osborne, a partner at Fladgate.

Osborne’s practice covers issues including international tax and private wealth advice (often involving advising HNW families on moving to the UK); the use of wealth preservation structures (such as offshore trusts, foundations and companies); and the reporting of beneficial ownership under various global initiatives. 

Recently, she tells Spear’s, she has been educating clients on possible changes to UK tax policies in 2025/2026. ‘There are a lot of entrepreneurs who are already existing clients at Fladgate and who haven’t done any estate planning, so we are introducing the idea of trusts and structuring to them.’
