Spear’s Review

Alexandra Hollingshead of Farrer & Co is a leading tax lawyer in the UK private client sector, regularly entrusted with high-value and complex cross-border matters. She advises dynastic families, UHNWs and family offices, helping them navigate complex tax, succession and wealth structuring challenges.

Shortlisted for the 2025 Spear’s Award for Tax Lawyer of the Year, Hollingshead is described by peers as a ‘builder, strategist and moral compass for the teams she leads’.

Beyond her high-value private client work, Hollingshead is committed to her pro bono practice, guiding survivors of modern slavery through trust arrangements, helping homeless individuals navigate public services and legal identity, and ensuring terminally ill young people can have their final wishes respected.
