Private Client Service and Anti-Money Laundering Regulations

Private Client Service refers to legal work that helps individuals and families manage, protect and pass on their wealth. This includes preparing wills, setting up trusts, administering estates after a death, handling property purchases and transfers, and planning how family businesses and assets will be passed to the next generation.
