We have considerable experience advising shareholders in family businesses who are looking at staged and structured succession planning with their business interests. Whether that involves passing the shares to the next generation at the right time, or creating new classes of share as a means to bring other family members into the business, we work closely with our Corporate Department to advise on all of the legal and taxation aspects of your family business or family investment company.

We also have extensive experience in preparing tax efficient Wills incorporating business relief trusts, and advising on the tax benefits and adminstration of the same.
