Given the bewildering array of initiatives proposing to shine a light on who actually owns and/or benefits from companies and trusts, there is a real danger of clients being blinded by transparency, say Maurice Turnor Gardner's Edward Burton, Claire Weeks and Jessica Zimmerman...
Claire advises trustees, banks and high-net worth individuals on tax and trust planning and in particular on international wealth planning structures. Claire’s advice to trustees, financial institutions and high-net worth individuals is focused on bespoke multi-jurisdictional wealth planning strategies, invariably involving complex cross-border structures and international tax and trust issues. Claire graduated from Cambridge University with a degree in Law and trained and qualified as a solicitor at Baker & McKenzie LLP. She joined Maurice Turnor Gardner LLP in October 2013. She won the STEP Young Practitioner of the Year award 2017 and is one of eprivateclient's Top 35 under 35.
