James Packer

Having worked in the City and acted for City based professionals for nearly 30 years (both in finance and as a lawyer), I would like to think that I’ve seen it all and can assist anyone with their estate planning.

Whether acting for entrepreneurs, owner/managers of businesses, city professionals, non-res or non-dom, I can provide an unfussy and no-nonsense approach. If I can’t help (tax and multi-jurisdictional succession planning is such a vast topic), then I will know someone who can, as over the years I have been lucky enough to work alongside other highly experienced professionals, who now form an integral part of our team’s network.

I can advise on all aspects of tax, trust and estate planning, including:

• UK Wills and family arrangements
• Trust creation and administration
• Succession planning for business owners, city professionals and landed estates
• Asset protection and tax structuring

I joined Taylor Vinters as a trainee in 1994, qualifying in 1996, and became a partner in 2000. I retired from the equity in 2017 to allow me time to pursue interests outside law and now act as consultant partner to the Private Wealth team.
