Emma advises on a broad range of tax, trust and estate planning issues for individuals, trustees and family offices.

In addition to UK-based clients, much of Emma’s work has an international element including advising non-UK trustees (with or without UK resident beneficiaries) on tax and fiduciary matters and UK resident non-domiciliaries in relation to UK pre-entry planning and the remittance basis.

Emma has experience in US/UK situations and spent six months with the trusts and estates group of a leading Los Angeles law firm.
