Private Client

You can trust us with all that’s important to you

Private Client

Stronachs has one of the most respected private client teams in Scotland.  With us, your personal legal affairs are in safe hands.

We are ideally placed to manage the complexities of family estates, trusts, tax and succession planning as our highly experienced and knowledgeable team comprises one of the largest pools of STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) qualified solicitors in the region.

We have been entrusted with the ongoing personal business of generations of families across Scotland and further afield. Returning clients make up a large proportion of our business and many new clients come to us for assistance following recommendations from friends, family and business associates.

Stronachs also has a long history of assisting clients and their families with the often complicated legal procedures that follow a death. We understand that these can create additional stress during a difficult time and our goal is to guide you through the legalities, helping to alleviate the potential anxiety they bring.

Our team has expertise in the formation, ongoing administration and termination of all types of trusts, including charitable trusts. We manage a large number of trusts’ key affairs, providing a range of tailored accounting, tax compliance and management services.

The team takes a collaborative approach, working closely with colleagues in Stronachs’ corporate, banking and finance and rural departments.  This approach allows us to offer a full service in handling matters such as estate and business owners’ succession planning, and support for renewable energy projects carried out by rural landowners.

We are well placed to provide you with clear, focussed advice tailored to your requirements.
