I am a Partner in the Private Client department based in the Harpenden office. I offer specialist advice on a wide range of issues affecting individuals including Wills and Estate planning, Lasting Powers of Attorney, Probate and Trusts.

My particular strength lies in advising high net worth clients on tax-planning and succession issues.

I regularly assist and advise elderly clients in relation to their affairs generally and in particular on the preparation of Lasting Powers of Attorney and their registration. I also act as an attorney for my clients where required.

In addition, I advise on the creation and ongoing administration of Trusts (including tax aspects) and regularly act as a Trustee if required.

Having been in practice specialising in Private Client work for over 30 years, I have an extensive and loyal client base locally, in London and further afield. I often act for different generations of families in dealing with their personal affairs. I also have a significant network of professional referrers with whom I have worked for many years.

I pride myself on developing and maintaining excellent client relationships and providing cost-effective and empathetic advice to a wide range of clients. I always try to go the extra mile for my clients and aim to offer the best possible standards of client care.

I trained and worked for over 10 years with a London firm renowned for the quality of its private client services before moving to Hertfordshire to join Taylor Walton in late 2000. I became a partner in 2003 and have been in the Harpenden office since 2006 when we moved to our current premises in TW House.

I joined Taylor Walton in 2000.
