What can I do for you
Kirsten advises individuals and trustees on a range of estate planning, taxation and succession issues.
Within the team, Kirsten has particular expertise advising on philanthropy and charity law. This extends to the creation, administration and governance of charitable structures; to include, charitable trusts, charitable incorporated organisations and charitable companies.
Supporting your ambitions
Kirsten works closely with clients to understand their long term objectives. This often involves working with multiple generations of the same family to manage the succession of family wealth, taking into account tax efficiency and the protection of assets. Kirsten advises on the use of trust structures and provides tailored advice to match the specific needs of each client.
Where clients have charitable objectives, Kirsten incorporates this into their wider estate planning, maximising tax efficiency and charity assets (through the use of Gift Aid and the timing donations across different tax years). Kirsten works with clients to consider the suitability of gifting different assets, such as cash, shares in private companies and property.
Many of Kirsten's clients retain other professional advisors (such as accountants and financial planners), and she often works closely with them to provide comprehensive and holistic advice.
