Nick Dunnell

Nick advises charities based in the UK on tax and estate planning through the use of lifetime gifts, trusts (and equivalent structures) and will planning. He advises internationally mobile clients on their tax residence, the consequences of being UK resident, pre-residency planning and how to mitigate their tax exposure. He advises resident non-doms on structuring, tax and bringing funds to the UK tax-efficiently. He also advises foreign clients on appropriate structures for holding UK assets, particularly residential property.

Nick is the trust adviser to a complex, major landed estate, advising on a spectrum of trust and related issues, including inter-generational succession, governance and protecting the trustees' position in their decision-making. He also advises non-resident trustees on tax and how to mitigate it (generally in conjunction with the settlor and beneficiaries). Recently he has advised on restructuring property holdings as a consequence of changes to the tax code.

Nick acts for family offices, advising mainly on tax, succession, and protecting wealth from the risks of divorce, political upheaval, vulnerable beneficiaries, death and incapacity.
