Private Client

Protect your wealth and plan for the future with bespoke advice from our private client solicitors.

PRIVATE CLIENT LAWYERS

What matters to you, matters to us. Your goals and challenges are unique, and so are your private client needs.

That is why we leave all assumptions at the door and start by understanding what you want to achieve.

We know your needs will change throughout your life, so we will ensure our team evolves around you. At Thrings, you get more than the experience and insight of our private client lawyers, you get the knowledge, reputation and specialist skills of an entire firm.    

Taking the long-term approach

Managing, protecting and growing your private wealth is a complex and long-term process. Our approach is always the same: we work in whichever way provides the most value to you. Through multi-disciplinary, partner-led teams we offer a broad perspective on each private client matter, and we will also work collaboratively with your accountants, surveyors and agents to ensure you always have the right experts on hand.

Graveyard gate and bushes

This holistic and strategic approach means we can proactively support you, helping you to resolve immediate private client issues but always with your long-term goals in mind.

From developing a robust business succession plan to inheritance tax advice, setting up a trust or supporting your family with residential property matters, our private client lawyers will help you utilise your wealth safely and effectively. Circumstances and aspirations may change over time, but the care, expertise and experience we offer remains the same.
