Spear’s Review

Payne Hicks Beach partner Benedict Jennings advises multigenerational families on their financial affairs and tax obligations, from succession and wealth planning to landed estates and the administration of onshore and offshore trusts.

While some of his clients have trusts stretching back nearly 70 years, many clients – some with entrepreneurial backgrounds – are setting up much newer structures to secure their wealth for generations to come. With such a wide client base often international in character, it is important to Jennings to provide robust, bespoke advice which fits each family’s individual needs.

‘Trying to be that safe pair of hands, steering the ship, is a really important thing,’ he tells Spear’s. ‘We’re in a really complex system, and trying to explain that complexity in a succinct and easy to understand way is the best thing I can do as a tax professional.’
