Our emphasis on client relationships has enabled us to build a considerable reputation in this area. ESTATE PLANNING Estate planning demands a detailed appreciation of the circumstances of each client and the flexibility to respond to their wishes. Our emphasis on client relationships has enabled us to build a considerable reputation in this area. Regular reviews of the estate and detailed illustrative calculations of potential liabilities keep our clients aware of opportunities available to them, while our international focus allows us to advise clients with assets in multiple jurisdictions. Frequent discussions with the client and the client’s family ensure that we are aware of their wishes as they develop and can act in their best interests. For UK connected clients, the inheritance regime provides excellent opportunities to plan estates and protect family wealth through the use of lifetime gifts, trusts, family limited partnerships and careful consideration of wills. Our expertise in tax planning means that we are an excellent choice for clients wishing to draft their wills in a tax efficient manner. Our partners are also experienced in acting as executors, alone or with family members or lawyers. We have all the necessary experience to deal with the administration of the estate, from the initial application for probate to the final distribution. The close relationships we build up with our clients mean that we can deal effectively with any sensitive family issues that arise.

Our experience in serving entrepreneurial clients, combined with our unique international network, has resulted in Rawlinson & Hunter developing specialisations in relation to a number of niche company types, these include, University spin-out companies, Special purpose vehicles and Shipping companies CORPORATE ADVISORY Our experience in serving entrepreneurial clients, combined with our unique international network, has resulted in Rawlinson & Hunter developing specialisations in relation to a number of niche company types, these include: University spin-out companies Like most intellectual property exploitation companies, UK university spin-out companies need to ensure that they are structured in a tax-efficient way. The UK government is increasingly focusing on innovation and as a result has made a plethora of support available through grant-funding bodies and the tax regime. We work to ensure that our clients can take advantage of the cashflow benefits presented by the Research and Development tax credit regime and the tax benefits of the UK Patent Box, where appropriate. Unlike many others who offer this service, we do not work on a contingent fee basis as we feel this impairs our objectivity and creates a conflict in delivering sound advice to our clients. We do however understand the cash flow constraints which these types of businesses are faced with and offer a range of discounted fees. Further, we find that such companies are also in need of our experience in (i) remuneration planning for key executives (including the structuring of tax efficient share and share option incentives), (ii) capital taxes planning for founders and key stakeholders and (iii) advice and support around the investment cycle and the use of various investor reliefs which are available currently in the UK. . Not only can Rawlinson & Hunter UK advise on each of the above specialist matters but we also offer a very cost-effective outsourced solution for the financial, HR, IT and administration functions that an early stage company needs but can seldom afford on a full-time basis. If you are looking for a firm that understands all of the issues, is fee sensitive and focused on helping you build a successful, scaleable and, ultimately, sellable business, please contact us. Special purpose vehicles Modern financing structures often result in the use of a combination of special purpose companies, partnerships and trusts. Rawlinson & Hunter’s international grouping is well placed to advise on the creation of such structures, as well as provide the necessary formation, administration, trustee, director and registered office services. Shipping companies We arrange registration of all types of luxury yachts in a number of jurisdictions. Often the most effective and confidential vehicle is to establish a company that is recorded as the registered owner of the yacht. We can incorporate such companies in most offshore jurisdictions, especially those jurisdictions offering the advantage of an international ship registry operating as a British Port of Registry. We can also assist with: Provision of Directors and Officers Provision of a registered office Accounting and statutory records Yacht ownership should be a pleasure not an administrative burden. We can take care of administration on your behalf- from arranging insurance cover to crew payroll, yacht expenses, bunkering and monthly accounting.

Companies and partnerships are flexible vehicles that can be used and integrated into a wide variety of asset management and asset protection structures and tax planning structures. COMPANIES & PARTNERSHIPS Companies and partnerships are flexible vehicles that can be used and integrated into a wide variety of asset management and asset protection structures and tax planning structures.

The combination with a trust, for example, often provides more effective protection as well as greater flexibility. Many jurisdictions are introducing new legislation designed for international business needs and the types and nature of companies and partnerships available in those jurisdictions should be considered as well as other matters such as infrastructure and stability. With offices in many of the jurisdictions featuring specialised company and partnership laws, we are well placed to meet most client requirements.
