Jurit LLP has appointed Caroline Williams as a consultant solicitor in its private wealth & tax team, as the firm continues to grow its virtual, consultant-led platform. She brings more than 20 years’ experience in private client law, with particular expertise in international tax and cross-border UK–French succession planning.
Williams trained and qualified with Burges Salmon before spending nearly a decade at Charles Russell Speechlys advising international private clients on estate planning, personal taxation, immigration matters and complex cross-border wealth structuring. Now based remotely in Bristol, she will focus on advising affluent UK-based individuals with French connections, including on French property ownership, trusts, succession structuring and coordinated UK–French wills.
Nicola Dudley, co-head of private wealth & tax, said: ‘Demand for sophisticated cross-border private wealth advice continues to grow,’ adding that ‘Caroline’s appointment reflects both the strength of our pipeline and our strategy of attracting senior specialists’. Jo Summers added that Williams’ ‘niche expertise in advising UK-based individuals on French property ownership and succession planning significantly enhances our international private wealth offering’.
Williams said: ‘The opportunity to join Jurit and build my practice within a virtual, yet supportive and collegiate environment was hugely appealing,’ adding that ‘the firm combines technical excellence with genuine flexibility’ and that she is ‘looking forward to developing my cross-border practice and contributing to the continued expansion of the team’.
