Saffery Champness has announced the promotion of four individuals to the firm’s partnership. Claire Wills, Elizabeth Hartless and Richard Jameson became partners with effect from 1 April and Sinead McHugh became partner from 1 May.

Elizabeth Hartless

Elizabeth is a member of Saffery Champness’ Private Wealth and Estates Group and national Landed Estates Practice Group, providing advice and support to large, complex family groups and family offices. Her client base ranges from landed estates and their associated enterprises, to families who have diversified away from the original business and now require private wealth advice. She acts for both UK-domiciliaries and those domiciled overseas and is passionate about helping the next generation get involved with their family’s financial affairs. She is based in London.

Richard Jameson

Richard Jameson joined Saffery Champness in London in 2015. He provides specialist tax advice to high net worth individuals and their associated businesses and trusts. He has 12 years’ post-qualified experience with a focus on estate planning, residence and domicile and international private client matters. Richard’s experience includes advising family investment companies, providing tax advice to private equity executives as well as the tax issues affecting property investment and development.

Matthew Burton, Managing Partner at Saffery Champness, commented:

“Even as we all adjust to a new way of working in light of the disruption felt across the global economy, we are in a strong position as a firm and will continue to prioritise the progression of our talent. Our people are our business and are central to our success as a firm and to the success of the clients we serve.

I couldn’t be happier to welcome these exceptional individuals to the Saffery Champness partnership and I am confident that they will continue to propel the business, and their careers, forward in their new roles.”
