The Trusts and Probate team work closely with the Firm’s Private Property, Tax, Trusts and Succession teams across all of the UK offices and some international offices.

You'll manage your own caseload, client relationships all the while engaging with all those that may be involved with any given matter, including trustees, beneficiaries and other adviser.
