Working with High Net Worth Clients

Our teams have specialist experience in helping high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals with their legal and wealth management needs. We know that you’ll need advice across a range of areas, including tax, wealth structuring, succession planning and asset protection.

You’ll get a core team of specialists with knowledge of all of these areas. They’ll be dedicated to protecting and growing your wealth for you and your family.

We can work with your existing team, including accountants and investment advisers. We’ll also work with our international contacts, using law firms across the globe to help when you need advice on issues with an international element.

Choosing the right services for you

We originally focussed on criminal law, but by the 1980s we were working on some of the UK’s most high-profile personal injury cases, including:

  • The Zeebrugge ferry disaster
  • The Marchioness riverboat disaster
  • The British Airtours Boeing 737 disaster at Manchester Airport
  • The Kegworth Air Crash
  • The Lockerbie Pan-Am flight terrorist bombing.

As our reputation grew around the country, it was time for the firm to grow with it. In 1989, we opened our second office in Birmingham.
 
This growth continued into the 1990s with a series of mergers and acquisitions and offices opening in Leeds and London. By 2007, we’d moved into Newcastle, Manchester, and Glasgow as well. Expansion in the South of England continued through the 2010s.
 
Through this journey, Irwin Mitchell has become the largest full-service law firm in the UK with leading private client and business legal departments. We’ve also developed a highly-respected wealth management service after helping thousands of clients manage large compensation settlements.
