Amanda Nelson

Senior Legal Counsel, Head of Private Wealth London


Why choose me

I love the intricacies of dealing with complex issues, particularly where there is an international element. Along with the rest of the Private Wealth team, I provide clients with the level of attention and care which they deserve. I respect and prioritise the issues facing every client as being of paramount importance to them. I don’t take a nine-to-five attitude to my work, and understand that my role requires an enhanced level of responsiveness and attention.

With many years’ experience, I have worked with a number of families, family businesses, trustees, foundations and charities, along with individuals from both the UK and overseas with varying levels of wealth and complexity. I provide straightforward, pragmatic advice and am able to empathise with clients from all kinds of different backgrounds.

My expertise covers international and domestic matters including succession and asset protection, capital taxes and remittance tax planning, trust creation and historical trust issues, family business structuring, governance and succession, and charity and philanthropy

Outside work I have provided a home to many rescue dogs over the last 25 years, and my dogs and my family are my passion outside the office, together with music of different genres.

Questions my clients ask me

Yes, with the right tax planning, and it doesn’t need to be over-complicated. There are various ways we can help you protect your wealth and assets down the generations.

The rules on UK residence have, to a degree, been simplified, and we have the expertise to help you with your international succession planning.

If planning is embarked on early enough, we can help with all aspects – tax, succession, governance and so forth, of your family business. Even if engaged after you have embarked on any planning – for example succession, restructuring or exiting, we can still help you.
