Wedlake Bell adds further bench strength to Private Client team with new Partner appointment

Joining the firm from Broadfield, Sophie brings extensive experience advising UK residents, international individuals, families, family offices and trustees on a wide range of UK legal and tax issues connected to estate planning, succession planning and wealth protection and preservation.

She provides advice on inheritance tax (including double tax treaties), residence, long term residence and domicile, changes in UK tax legislation, regulatory developments and Wills.

With a particular focus on internationally mobile individuals and families with a global footprint, Sophie is highly regarded for her ability to navigate the complexities of cross-border planning. She frequently collaborates with advisers in other jurisdictions to deliver solutions for families managing multi-jurisdictional interests.

“I am thrilled to join Wedlake Bell’s exceptional Private Client team,” said Sophie. “The firm’s collaborative culture, reputation in my field and other strengths across property, tax and corporate law make it the perfect platform to deliver integrated advice to the internationally connected families that I often work with.”

Caroline Miller, Head of the Private Client team commented: “Sophie’s arrival further enhances our ability to advise clients on the most sophisticated UK and international wealth structuring issues. Her reputation, particularly in advising globally mobile families, aligns perfectly with our strategy of providing outstanding cross-border private client services.”
