Kingsley Napley is pleased to announce the latest hire to its Private Client team - Paul Davidoff joined the firm as a new partner over the summer to lead its international tax desk.
Paul advises UK-based and international high net worth individuals, families, trustees and beneficiaries on tax, trusts and estate planning. He is expert in the complexities of the UK’s residence and domicile rules and the UK-tax implications of asset ownership or transfer for individuals, companies and trusts (both onshore and offshore). He advises those leaving the UK on their tax affairs and those returning to or arriving in the UK, whether or not they are UK citizens and have assets here or overseas. He also assists with the structuring and administration of UK and offshore trusts, as well as drafting UK and cross-border wills and succession strategies.
Paul has joined from New Quadrant Partners where he was a partner since 2018. This follows New Quadrant’s strategic refocus on UK Trust, Fiduciary and Family Office work. Paul is a member of STEP and completed the STEP Advanced Certificate in “UK Tax for International Clients” with distinction. He features in the Spear’s 2024 Tax & Trusts Advisers Index, CityWealth and Lexology and has also previously been recognised by the Chambers HNW Guide and Best Lawyers for Tax.
His arrival comes as Kingsley Napley is experiencing high demand for tax and trust related advice, especially from those wanting to leave the UK, as well as those looking to move or invest here.
James Ward, Head of Private Client at Kingsley Napley, comments: “The evolving tax landscape for UK and international HNWs means we are seeing unprecedented demand for tax related advice and planning services. Paul’s expertise will be invaluable and I am delighted to welcome him to the firm.”
Paul Davidoff comments: “I am pleased to be joining such a vibrant and fast-growing practice. It has been a busy start already and I am looking forward to working with my colleagues across the firm and getting to know our clients, as the country heads into yet another period of change with the impending Autumn Budget less than three months away.”
Giovanni Borzellino, Director and Chief Financial & Operating Officer at New Quadrant, comments: “We wish Paul well at Kingsley Napley where his significant skills and knowledge will be a great fit. We look forward to working with him in future as our clients require.”
In May, Kingsley Napley also welcomed new partner Kiran Vasudeva to the Private Client team from JMW Solicitors and announced the launch of its new trust corporation which allows the firm to manage trusteeships, executorships, deputyships, and attorneyships more efficiently and with greater protection for clients.
