The guide highlights the firm’s expertise in tax and estate planning, trust and estate administration, powers of attorney, and business succession, as well as experience in Court of Protection work.
Chambers highlighted several testimonials from Gorvins Private Wealth clients and praised the accessibility and practical approach of our team, stating of the firm:
“Gorvins has a broad range of knowledge.”
“We have always found the partners at Gorvins to be available when we need them, and the different departments means we don’t have to go elsewhere for legal advice.”
