Leading Boutique Private Client Lawyers

Our team of lawyers are adept at working alongside other teams of professionals. They regularly advise successful business owners on pre-sale tax planning and help them decide how best to pass their wealth on to the next generation.

Vault’s lawyers are either STEP qualified or are working towards that qualification. A STEP qualification is the highest accreditation that private client lawyers can achieve and is regarded as the gold standard of training.

Vault’s Mission

Our team’s mission is to exceed our clients’ expectations in terms of service, expertise and value.

We will do this by:

1. First, we meet and discuss 

At all times our priority is to ensure that we tailor our advice to your needs. We therefore recognise the importance of an initial meeting to get to know each other in a relaxed environment. We take the time to meet with you and your family as well as any trusted advisors you may have to allow us to provide joined up solutions for you.

2. Then, we advise 

After our initial meetings, we will follow up with a comprehensive summary of our discussion and our recommendations for you. This will include a clear outline of the different options and associated costs. 

3. Next, we implement our planning 

Our team of experts will then work hard behind the scenes to produce the legal documentation required for your specific circumstances. Our solicitors will utilise their wealth of experience to provide a seamless service for you and your family. Our advisors are extremely well-connected with other leading professional advisors and will be well placed to introduce you to other professional experts. 

4. Finally, we finesse our expertise to ensure your objectives are met

Our responsive team will be on hand to ensure that any of your final queries are answered before finalising our bespoke advice. If a further meeting is required to perfect the planning, we will be there for you. We strive to become one of your long term trusted advisors as well as your first point of contact for any personal challenges you face in the future.

We are a responsive and reliable boutique firm offering estate planning services in London. 

We have a vast number of connections in the capital and have long-term relationships with accountants, financial advisors, and private banks.

Vault Private Client is an innovative, forward-thinking, approachable business, passionate about working with clients on a personal level rather than a transactional one.

Our goal is to impact your life in a positive way, ensuring you feel safe and protected after planning with us. Vault is a safe space for you and your family that is designed to help you.

Estate Planning London: The Way We Do It

Any prospective client looking for estate planning firms in London is offered a free initial consultation. This first step is vital for clients and allows us to understand your needs, personality, and to get to know you. We can then help make better, more informed decisions and advise you on how to plan for the future.

Every client is different, we know this, which is why we are passionate advocates for individuality. We understand the complexities that business owners, families, and vulnerable people face and can offer a tailored service that meets those needs.

During the consultation, an experienced lawyer from Vault will take time to understand the details of your situation. Once established, they’ll put a strategy in place, offer a sense of possible outcomes, and provide estimated costs should you wish to instruct.
