Six situations clients bring to me.

Families often face difficult decisions involving wealth, succession, inheritance and changing family circumstances.

I help individuals and families step back from the immediate issue and consider the wider picture, including the effect a decision may have on relationships, wealth and future generations.

Business owners regularly face decisions with consequences far beyond the immediate transaction.

Drawing on four decades of corporate and commercial work, including contracts, agreements and the buying and selling of companies, I offer an independent view on significant business decisions.

Ownership, management, succession and family relationships tend to become closely intertwined in a family business.

I help owners and their families think these questions through, particularly when preparing for succession, considering a sale, or working through differences between family members.

Property is usually tied to family wealth, succession and personal relationships all at once.

I provide an independent perspective on major property and asset decisions, so the commercial, family and long-term implications are considered before a commitment is made.

Divorce, separation, inheritance, retirement, the sale of a business and succession are all turning points.

I help individuals and families move through them with more clarity and foresight, and fewer surprises later.

Sometimes a client already has capable advisers but wants someone experienced to step back and look at the whole picture.

A strategic second opinion helps identify the questions that matter, anticipate consequences, and prepare for a more productive discussion with existing advisers.
