Firm expands private wealth team with director appointment
Independent UK law firm Burges Salmon has announced the appointment of Stewart Jordan as a director in the firm’s UK-wide tax and private wealth team. Stewart joins from TLT.
 

Having also held roles in private client tax departments at two of the ‘Big 4’ accountancy firms in London, Stewart is an experienced lawyer acting for a broad range of UK and international trust and fiduciary service providers, private individuals and their families in relation to legal and tax matters. With a specialism in international taxation, he also advises clients on HMRC enquiries, including providing assistance in regularising historic tax issues through voluntary disclosures to HMRC. 

Stewart comments: 'Burges Salmon’s proven track record of complex cross-jurisdictional work is a perfect fit for me. The firm’s impressive international and UK client portfolio speaks volumes about its capabilities and reach, and I am excited by the opportunities to work with a team that sets the benchmark for excellence in private wealth.'

John Barnett, partner at Burges Salmon, adds: 'Stewart’s impressive experience in international work will add additional support to a wide range of our clients – particularly for non-UK trustees. Following tax changes announced at the Autumn Budget, we’ve seen a rapid and steady increase from clients seeking advice and support. By growing and investing into our team, we ensure our clients continue to receive the best advice and value their experience working with us.'
