Clive Robertson

Spear’s Review

Clive Robertson joined Healys in 2016; a consultant solicitor, he leads the firm’s classic and collector car group.

Robertson and his team advise on commercial law relating to historic automobiles and motorbikes, including title and contracts matters, provenance issues, estate and inheritance tax planning, and litigation and mediation in the event of dispute.

Robertson tells Spear’s that good legal advice is essential to classic car ownership: ‘Some people will hand over hundreds of thousands when they have only seen the car. What I have been trying to do is educate the market in saying that there’s just as much research required to buy an expensive car [as there is to buy a house].’

Robertson takes his love of cars out of the office, too, as a regular columnist for the automotive magazine Magneto and as a classic car collector and racer.
