International Wealth & Fiduciary

Druces’ International Wealth and Fiduciary team provides services for individuals and families; family offices and trustees who require advice in connection with their UK and international interests.

We specialise in securing successful low profile outcomes for high profile families.

Our family office brochure introduces you to our full range of services and experience. However, we have outlined a brief description of some key services.

Private Wealth services for family offices

We advise high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and families on structuring their UK and international affairs with a high degree of tax efficiency. This includes advising on the associated corporate structuring. We are highly experienced in pre- and post-immigration planning services to ensure that clients are well prepared both before any move to the UK.

Employment and Immigration services for family offices

Our team is also able to advise on the employment and immigration considerations of moving to the UK, helping to select the right visa for you and your family, guiding you on the rules on working in the UK and employing staff, and the tax implications of UK residency.

Real Estate services for family offices

We are also well known for advising families in relation to their UK real estate portfolios, whether residential, commercial or purely investment property. We structure families’ property portfolios and business affairs in the UK, advising on the most appropriate and tax efficient vehicles.

Our property credentials include pioneering work with real estate investment through syndication over 25 years ago. We also acted on the first ever REIT conversion to be listed on the Channel Islands Stock Exchange.

Recent work

We have helped a number of clients to set up offices in the UK and advised on the structure of their UK presence in the most tax efficient way.
We have worked with a large number of internationally based family offices on building their property portfolios, whether as an investment strategy or to service the needs of a family office’s operation.
We have advised a wide range of clients on the acquisition of British citizenship.
We have acted for several non-UK domiciled families on succession issues, usually involving several jurisdictions and very often involving a range of asset classes including property and high value artwork and wine collections.
