By trade Emma is a Wealth Manager and has been supporting clients at RBC Brewin Dolphin for 9 years. Emma is passionate about increasing financial literacy across the population by providing financial education, guidance, and expertise to employees. Educational sessions have been created to speak to employees at every stage of their life and career journey, as well as more topical challenges such as the cost-of-living crisis.

When it comes to providing advice, Emma works with clients to understand their aims and aspirations, working to understand where they are and where they want to be. For many this is saving for a life event, planning for retirement, or safeguarding assets for future generations. Emma works closely with clients to build a plan on how best to achieve these goals.

I am an Associate solicitor in the Tax, Trusts and Estates team in London. I advise on all aspects of private client law with a focus on acting for high-net-worth individuals and trustees on estate planning, trust structures and taxation matters. I work with UK individuals and international families and trustees on estate planning, wealth structuring, and trusts to ensure tax efficiency.

I also assist with complex cross-border succession planning (including the drafting of bespoke Wills for UK and international high-net-worth individuals), and the administration of cross-border estates, in particular the application of international succession law and tax-related considerations. This is usually in relation to safeguarding assets and wealth from creditors, matrimonial claims, and the application of succession regimes such as the forced heirship rules and I have a particular focus on Sharia law aspects of international succession.

I regularly works with international families and trustees to plan to avoid the pitfall posed by multi-national estates.

I'm experienced with relevant tax reliefs for individuals and trusts, such as inheritance tax business relief, agricultural property relief, and capital gains tax main residence relief.

The creation and setting-up of offshore trusts is another specialism of mine and I help beneficiaries and trustees of offshore trusts to ensure optimum tax efficiency.

I regularly work with international families, advising on residence and domicile issues including the statutory residence test or the taxation of UK residential and non-residential property owned by offshore structures.

I'm a member of the Society for Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) and have completed the STEP Advanced certificate on UK tax for international clients. I'm also currently studying towards the Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) qualifications.
