Viv Wild Email & Phone Number

I have been a private client lawyer for more than 30 years. My typical client is a high-net-worth individual and I advise them on their estate and succession planning, in particular those with significant business interests or who are high earning professionals, often with overseas assets, dealing with their Will and trust requirements and advising on asset protection, UK inheritance tax and cross-border points.I have significant technical and practical expertise in this area, dealing with highly complex and technically demanding matters. I spend time with my clients to build a rapport with them and understand their objectives, estate planning requirements and any family dynamics. Few people want to contemplate dying and how their estate should be distributed on their death. However, a careful considered review of all the circumstances combined with a tailored structured Will and other associated documents to ring-fence, for example, any lump sums payable on death or the proceeds of life insurance policies, can also provide significant benefits in terms of inheritance tax mitigation and wealth protection for future generations.Many of my clients are business owners and I work closely with colleagues in corporate and other business services teams to ensure that any succession planning in relation to the client’s business interests is undertaken in a cohesive and integrated manner, and that the use of any available relief from inheritance tax is optimised on the client’s death and during their lifetime. I aim to really get to know my clients and understand their needs, building a long-term relationship whatever the future may hold!I am personally highly ranked and recognised:- Individually ranked in Band 1 of the Chambers UK- Named Leading Individual by Legal 500- Rated Distinguished Individual in the Spears 500 Guide"Viv applies great technical knowledge with simplicity," reports a commentator, adding: "Taking others with her, she can explain complex issues in a way that the man in the street can understand and relate to."
