Paula Steele has been featured in the Spear’s 500
We are delighted that our Director, Paula Steele, has been featured in the Spear’s 500, a guide to the top private client advisers and service providers for HNW individuals.

“We take out significant life insurance programmes for estates to enable them to pay their inheritance tax. Let’s assume that you have an estate. In your estate you’ve got £50 million of assets you’re going to have to pay tax on. That could be pictures or property, because the land will almost certainly be exempt.
