National law firm Clarke Willmott LLP has once again been named in the prestigious Times Best Law Firm rankings.
The firm was commended for its inheritance and succession planning advice in the 2026 guide which lists the top 250 legal practices in England and Wales.
The firm’s leading private client team received commendation for its work supporting a client with a significant interest in an international company, in creating multiple trusts, which made long-term inheritance tax savings to support surviving family members.
The firm worked with other international advisers to ensure that any international tax implications were also considered. It also had to negotiate a change in UK legislation to consider the likely rises in capital gains tax.
Also noted was Clarke Willmott’s work acting for a wealthy multi-generational family, giving advice on wills, lasting power of attorney, capacity issues and a family foundation that is a registered charity. The firm supported the family with reorganisation and the appointment of family trusts, which affected inheritance tax planning.
The accolade follows another year of strong growth at Clarke Willmott, with its latest results showing a turnover of 64.7 million.
Peter Swinburn, CEO of Clarke Willmott, said: “This latest recognition for the work of our private client team is very well deserved.
“Many of the cases we handle are complex and involve high net worth individuals with significant business and personal assets. Our private client team handles each one with passion and compassion, demonstrating the commitment and sensitivity needed for this type of work.
“The ranking comes shortly after another great year of Chambers and Partners and Legal 500 results which reflect the high standard of legal expertise across the whole firm.”
