Blake Morgan—Daniel Church

Succession and tax team welcomes partner in London 

Blake Morgan has appointed Daniel Church as a partner in its London-based succession and tax team, bolstering its private client offering. He is the fifth new partner to join the firm’s London office in the past year.

Church advises on business protection and succession planning, complex wills, lasting powers of attorney and tax planning. His client base includes SME business owners, high-net-worth and blended families, well-known sports and media figures, and UK residents domiciled outside the UK.

He brings more than 14 years’ post-qualification experience, including over six years as a partner in another Chambers High Net Worth-ranked private client team. Church is a past president of the Surrey Law Society and an affiliate member of the Society for Trust and Estate Protection.

Helen Bunker, chair and head of private client at Blake Morgan, said: ‘It’s fantastic to be able to welcome Daniel to Blake Morgan during an important period of growth’, adding that he has ‘already hit the ground running’ and is bringing ‘further high-calibre advice’ to the team.
