The firm is looking to capitalise on growth in the Welsh high net worth market.

RadcliffesLeBrasseur has hired Paul Lindsey to lead its new practice advising wealthy individuals and families in Wales.

Lindsey will serve as an associate within the firm’s 17-strong private client team. He will be based in Cardiff. 

He joins from Harding Evans, based in South Wales, where he led its trusts and estates team as a senior associate. Lindsey brings expertise in estate planning, inheritance tax planning for individuals, businesses and agricultural clients, Court of Protection matters, advice on care fees and powers of attorney, estate disputes, personal injury and disabled persons’ trusts and probate.

RadcliffesLeBrasseur highlighted a growing professional services market in South Wales, with increased tax powers expected at the Welsh Assembly. It said local businesses were seeking to maximise the opportunities presented by successful professionals and high net worth individuals moving to the rural areas surrounding Cardiff.

“He brings with him an impressive client and referrer base in Wales as well as a depth of expertise and sector knowledge. We are delighted that Paul has joined us to lead our targeted launch in the Welsh private client arena,” said the firm’s private client partner, Jonathan Shankland.
