Natalie Lim

Senior Associate

What can I do for you

Natalie is a senior associate in the private wealth team, advising high net worth individuals, families and trustees on UK and international tax, trust and estate planning matters.

Her practice covers estate and succession planning, trust structuring, and international tax matters, with a particular focus on US/UK cross-border planning. Drawing on her strong working understanding of US tax and trust concepts, Natalie helps clients navigate the interaction between UK and US tax systems, translating complex technical issues into clear, practical advice.

Natalie is a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP).

Supporting your ambitions

By working closely with clients and their wider advisory teams, Natalie helps families anticipate challenges, manage risk and implement plans that are effective, sustainable and aligned with their broader goals. Whether preparing the next generation for a future wealth transfer, supporting a move to or from the UK, or helping families navigate multi-jurisdictional tax and succession issues, she focuses on finding practical solutions that provide clarity and certainty.

What else should you know

Having grown up in Malaysia, Natalie brings first-hand insight into the cultural and family considerations that are often important to international clients with connections to Asia. Before moving to the UK in 2013, she spent a year living in France, giving her an appreciation of the opportunities and challenges that can arise when life spans multiple countries and cultures.

Natalie speaks conversational Mandarin Chinese and Malay and values building strong relationships with clients from a diverse range of backgrounds.

What our clients say about us

  • I think Mills & Reeve are a wonderful firm. The support they have provided to us in a really difficult area has been brilliant, collaborative and commercially minded. The team were absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with. Amazing advice and support and a real collaborative effort with us. I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.
  • They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.
  • All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.
  • I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.

As many clients will testify, too many lawyers deliver the required legal expertise but fail to deliver an outstanding client experience. Which is why we always listen to our clients and constantly ask ourselves what we can do to deliver the results you expect.

You expect a close and attentive working relationship, with a lawyer that is responsive and available when you need them. You also want clear, pragmatic and commercial advice tailored to your needs, and transparency and certainty on costs. We completely agree. That’s why every day, through our culture and approach we are committed to delivering the exceptional results and service our clients expect of us.
