London-based law firm has appointed Matthew Radcliffe as a partner in its Bedford Row-based private client team, expanding its international private client capability.

Radcliffe is a recognised specialist in complex cross-border tax and estate planning, advising internationally mobile families, trustees, and family offices on UK and international tax, succession, and structuring issues. With a particular focus on US-UK estate and tax planning, Radcliffe regularly advises clients on the interaction between the two systems, including residence and domicile rules, the US-UK estate tax treaty, and the treatment of foreign entities such as trusts, foundations, and family holding structures. His experience spans pre?immigration and pre-emigration planning, cross-border wealth structuring, and the UK tax analysis of US entities including LLCs and revocable trusts.

His previous experience includes being part of private client teams at two major City firms and an in-house role at one of the Big Four accountancy firms.

“We are excited to welcome Matthew to the partnership. Cross-border expertise continues to be a strategic growth area for the firm, and Matthew’s depth of experience significantly enhances our capability in this space,”James Cook, private client partner London, said. “His appointment strengthens our offering to clients whose affairs span multiple jurisdictions and reflects our continued investment in high?calibre international private client work.”

Radcliffe’s appointment brings the number of partners in the firm’s private client practice to seven.
