Spear’s Review

A partner in BDB Pitmans’ private wealth team, Jonathan Colclough advises UK and international clients on UK tax, trusts, estate and succession issues. His practice has a particular focus on cross-border matters for non-UK domiciled clients, offshore trustees and family offices.

The adviser can also assist family business owners with developing succession plans, or strategising around a business sale. According to his firm, Colclough is au fait with helping entrepreneurs at ‘all stages in the life cycle of their business’. 

In addition to his private client work, Colclough is on the Law Society’s Tax Law Committee, which works alongside HMRC on policy development. Earlier in his career, Colclough worked as a solicitor at Boodle Hatfield and Maitland before becoming a private wealth partner at New Quadrant Partners. He joined BDB Pitmans at the end of 2020.
