About Tim

I work with clients and their families, helping them through difficult periods in their personal lives. These may be when writing or updating complex Wills, dealing with a death in the family or helping with elderly relatives.

I also like to think of imaginative solutions to various problems they may face in terms of their family and financial issues, particularly in relation to inheritance tax and estate planning. I am recognised by Legal 500 as a Ranked Lawyer for private client work.

I went to the The Royal Grammar School, Guildford, and then to Selwyn College, Cambridge. I was admitted as a solicitor in 1985.

Outside of work I play the guitar in my band, Sultana. I also enjoy doing a bit of cycling.
