Wealth Management
Wealth management has been through an almost unprecedented level of regulatory change and we have a deep working knowledge of the opportunities and challenges facing firms in this area.
We are experienced in advising clients from the financial planning, investment management and private banking disciplines on corporate, commercial and regulatory issues. In addition, our nationally recognised Private Wealth team has long standing relationships with high net worth individuals, business owners and families who use wealth management services. We understand the key issues driving the sector from both sides of the fence, as well as the pitfalls, and apply our know-how in an efficient and practical way.
