Practices

Private Client

JHAB advises individuals, families, trustees, and family offices on a full spectrum of high-value personal and private wealth matters. Our work regularly involves residence and domicile issues, trusts and family governance, philanthropy, and succession planning, often within complex UK and international structures. We focus on developing clear and practical strategies designed to protect and preserve wealth across generations.

Our practice is barrister-led and fully integrated, combining deep technical knowledge with strategic judgment from the very outset. We bring the highest levels of experience to both planning and implementation, tailoring our approach to each client’s unique circumstances. Where possible, we seek the most straightforward and efficient solutions, avoiding unnecessary complexity while maintaining the rigour required in high-value and high-stakes matters.

We act with discretion, responsiveness, and close personal attention, understanding the sensitivities inherent in family wealth. Our team is accustomed to working under demanding timetables, managing delicate family dynamics, and addressing the specific expectations of UHNW clients. We are also well-versed in coordinating with clients’ other trusted advisers to provide seamless, end-to-end support.

We collaborate extensively with a trusted global network of leading lawyers and other professionals, enabling us to provide comprehensive advice and coordinated solutions across multiple jurisdictions.

As trusted advisers, we are often retained on a long-term basis to provide continuity and stability, offering guidance as family structures evolve and wealth passes between generations. By combining legal excellence with discretion, foresight, and a practical, solutions-driven mindset, we deliver advice that is both technically robust and personally attuned to the needs of the clients we serve.
