‘This has been a landmark year – my 30th as a private client lawyer,’ says Barry Adamson, who specialises in private client tax planning, mainly for UK domiciled clients. He is also experienced in probate and both UK and international estate administration, for clients including HNWs, trustees, executors and beneficiaries.

‘This year, I’ve been advising more clients than ever on complex and high value matters. Some have been particularly challenging, but all have been fascinating. I also made the decision to change firms, which has been a fantastic move,’ he says. ‘Private client work encompasses both technical “black-letter” law and personal relationships,’ he says.
