Will Ford

Spear’s Review

As a partner in Womble Bond Dickinson’s private wealth team, Will Ford advises a wide range of international clients on tax and wealth structuring.

Ford offers strategic tax advice that considers every aspect of a family’s financial ecosystem. By understanding their broader financial goals, he aims to develop a clear plan that aligns asset ownership, personal tax obligations and overall relationship management.

In his previous role at Anthos, the family office of the Brenninkmeijer family, he learned how to provide holistic services for high-powered and time-poor clients. Ford explains that the family, at the time in its seventh generation of wealth, had requirements that extended beyond typical tax advice, and he advised on succession planning, family investments and multi-jurisdictional trusts. 

‘Clients should come to me and know that even if I’m not the right person to do a specific bit of work, I’ll help them fix it – that’s the mindset that I have,’ he tells Spear’s.
