Spear’s Review

Gabriel Estevez joined Taylor Wessing (now Winston Taylor following the merger of Winston & Strawn and Taylor Wessing in 2026) over a decade ago, and is now the head of the firm’s international private wealth group and a partner in the banking and finance team.  

‘I head an international group, but I spend my time client-facing,’ he tells Spear’s. As a trusted adviser to UHNWs across the world, Estevez and his team can help clients with ‘pretty much any issue’, he says, and can assemble a team with experts in real estate, banking, corporate disputes, regulatory matters or reputation management. 

‘People come to me because they know I can make connections for them,’ he says, adding that he essentially ‘acts as an external legal family office’.
