Unpacking the Budget: the impact on UK businesses
Sophie Voelcker
Our expert lawyers assist our clients with important aspects of their lives in an efficient and discreet way, often over many years. We take the time to get to know our clients and instil confidence in them that we are available with expert, reliable and timely advice when they need us.
We are highly regarded for our expertise domestically and internationally, and are frequently recognised in the leading legal and wealth directories.
Reflecting the breadth and diversity of the firm, we act for a diverse range of clients. These include entrepreneurs and business owners, landed estates, family businesses and investors, many with international assets and family spread around the world. However, many of our clients are not within any category and are simply those who require well-delivered, high quality advice.
Whoever our client and whatever their level of wealth and complexity, our specialist lawyers work with them and their advisers to structure their affairs in the way that they want.

I am the executor of a substantial estate being administered by Kingsley Napley LLP by partner Anita Gill and senior estate manager Joseph Austin.

One of the firm’s partners will take responsibility for and oversee each and every matter. That partner (and others) may also undertake the work, but other solicitors and team members may have day to day responsibility. We will ensure that the work is undertaken at the correct level to ensure efficiency of service and cost.
We advise on a wide range of matters for a diverse client base and the issues that require our advice do not always equate to a high value. We pride ourselves on treating all our clients in the same way and providing an equal service no matter the complexity or value.
Not at all. We act for a variety of clients. As a group of lawyers, we match well with our varied client base.
