Andrew Lane
Spear’s Review
Andrew Lane, a former farmer and now a parter in Forsters’ landed estates team, has seen an increase in both development work and instructions on the advisory side, as well as a steady stream of transactions. ‘We have more than held our market share,’ he tells Spear’s.
The modest lawyer’s farming background gives him ‘a practical edge’, according to clients. He continues to advise in relation to capital taxation and succession for the owners of large country landholdings in addition to families and trusts.
He is also adept at formulating tax-efficient structures for both onshore and offshore owners. His career has seen various highlights, including ‘completing a strategic plan for a multi-billion European family’.
