Lawyers for private clients

An interdisciplinary and international approach is the hallmark of our lawyers for private clients when advising high net worth individuals and (family) business owners on all legal and tax matters related to their private affairs. 

We also act on behalf of banks, asset managers and family offices. We work with them to develop bespoke solutions on behalf of our clients, as well as advising them directly on wealth management issues.

The range of services provided by our lawyers for private clients covers all aspects of wealth and succession planning, from asset and succession structuring, contractual and financing matters to contingency planning and personal tax planning in matters relating to matrimonial property law. We also represent private clients and businesspersons in court proceedings and vis-à-vis government bodies.

The CMS Private Clients Specialty Group within the international CMS organisation offers cross-border wealth management and succession planning for global business-owning families and high net worth individuals.

Details of our lawyers for private clients are listed below. Please feel free to contact them at any time.
