Henry Cecil
Spear’s Review
With ample experience of high-value acquisitions and disposals, Henry Cecil is a leading property solicitor. He often operates at the crossroads of luxury property and rural life, and works with an array of landowners and estates on the sometimes thorny issues facing farms and country houses.
Joining Forsters as head of landed estates in 2018, Cecil is adept at advising clients on succession, estate planning matters and development agreements. This is partly thanks to his own personal involvement in managing estates – experience which he regularly brings to bear for the benefit of his clients.
Cecil also has a strong grounding in London-based property transactions, and holds a number of trustee roles.
