Patricia Milner
Spear’s Review
‘I’m very lucky,’ says Patricia Milner of her ‘mixed practice’. She advises single and multi-family offices and individual professionals – most of whom are international with a UK connection – on a variety of tax, trust and estate planning matters.
Milner can assist UHNWs with the development of nascent family offices, as well as steering longer-established family outfits on complex family business and succession issues. Sitting at the forefront of Withers’ wealth planning team for Europe, Milner has been a partner since 1998.
She tells Spear’s she has seen clients’ priorities shifting. ‘A focus on many families’ minds is succession planning,’ she says. ‘They are focusing very much on family and what is important to them. ESG investing has really gathered momentum.’
