Increasingly her practice focuses on business owners, trustees and work for fellow professionals. 

What do others say

An e-private client 2017 "35 under 35", Elizabeth is "extremely bright and extremely personable" (Legal 500). 
 
Client feedback: 

  • "Thank you for this characteristically thoughtful and thorough response." 
  • "I’d like to thank you all for the work you do to help guide me in the best direction with a fairly complicated structure." 

Supporting your ambitions

Advising an international couple who had recently exited their business on tax and succession issues, including co-ordinating foreign legal advice and advising on capital gains tax and inheritance tax planning options, on a tight time-frame due to health issues. 
 
Advising a landed estate held through a number of trusts on an inter-generational transition. Working collaboratively with other professionals, we have reorganised the settlements in line with the family's wishes, including bringing a trust onshore and terminating several trusts, taken steps to improve inheritance tax reliefs and achieved a more streamlined structure for the next generation. 

What else should you know?

Elizabeth is interested in new ways of delivering results for clients and was one of the firm's first Innovation Champions, responsible for embedding a culture of innovation across the firm and adopting systems to implement new ideas. She sits on the local STEP committee and, outside work, is a keen dressmaker.
