Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

I am a partner and head up the Tax & Estate Planning team. I advise a number of estates and farming clients on succession planning and inheritance tax issues. These issues often involve a combination of technical capital tax issues, the commercial viability of the farm or estate in question, the dynamics of the family relationships and of course the objectives of the client. In terms of the structures often in place with agricultural and landed clients, I am experienced at advising family farming partnerships and on the drafting, management and capital taxation of family trusts. I work closely with each client’s accountant and land agent to ensure that my advice is part of joined up advice from all the professional advisers. I trained at a City firm and now live in Winchester. I listen to what my clients want. My clients’ objectives are likely to be a combination of factors such as planning for complicated family circumstances and the protection of family assets from bankruptcy, divorce and tax, especially inheritance tax and capital gains tax. Secondly, I give clear advice in an approachable and efficient manner in response.

    I have had excellent professional advice with clear explanation for the less informed clients. They have completed the work that was needed and William in particular has always been helpful and available for advice. I can not recommend him and the firm too highly.

    He was someone that I could trust

    Solicitor, William Hadley,was extremely helpful and is preparing to take over my affairs. I felt that he was someone that I could trust to run things and that he would take a personal interest in the various aspects that needed to be covered. I am looking forward to handing everything over to him and have confidence that he will deal with problems that need to be resolved

    “I found William clearly and concisely explained what the issues were surrounding my will and the options open to me to manage my estate to the best advantage for the beneficiaries. His manner was professional without being overwhelming and he demonstrated patience throughout. I left the meeting feeling at ease and confident in the advice I had been given.”
