Following a number of recent high profile appointments in to our London office, Birketts is able to offer clients both Immigration and Tax advice as part of its full service offering, making it a one stop firm for those seeking international private client expertise.

On hand to assist entrepreneurial, professional and high net worth individuals, the team offers a range of services to non-domiciled individuals as well as UK based individuals with personal assets or business interests overseas.
