Piers Barclay Partner
Piers is the head of private client.
Piers specialises in succession, tax and estate planning advice for individuals and their families as well as related advice to trustees and other private client service providers, such as family offices. In addition to UK-based clients, much of his work has an international element, including structuring multi-jurisdictional estates, using trusts in civil law and Sharia law countries and advising non-UK trustees on tax and fiduciary matters.
He has experience in UK pre-entry planning for non-domiciliaries, remittance basis advice and the implementation of wills and associated mechanisms on arrival, both for entrepreneurs and for other high-net-worth individuals.
Before becoming a partner, Piers spent six months on secondment in the trusts department of a leading international law firm.
Piers is a member of the firm's probate group and has many years' experience advising on all probate related matters.
