Spear’s Review

Clare Armitage is partner at Wedlake Bell who advises UK-based individuals, trustees, beneficiaries and their advisers on tax, trust and succession issues. 

She often acts for high- and ultra-high-net-worth individuals and has particular experience in advising Middle Eastern families on how to structure their UK property and business interests in a tax-efficient way. Her experience with globally mobile clients means she is also well-equipped to consult on cross-border tax and liaise with advisers in other jurisdictions.

Armitage explains that her clients ‘often ask for me to be their key adviser, but private clients can require many different types of legal expertise. They do not have time to deal with multiple advisers; therefore, being able to deliver a coordinated, joined-up response at the end of a call is definitely key.’
