Meet our Experts
Iwan Williams
I am a Partner in Michelmores’ Tax, Trusts, and Succession team. I deal with all aspects of estate and succession planning and have extensive experience of advising high net worth individuals and business-owning families in relation to a wide range of succession and tax matters.
In particular, I work closely with rural business and landed estate owners, their trustees, and professional advisers in relation to a range of taxation, trust, and succession planning advice – it is always a privilege to be part of an advisory team that can help guide, preserve, and enhance hugely significant rural businesses and historic estates.
I also advise business owners and wealthy entrepreneurs on tax and estate planning issues, including passing assets to the next generation tax efficiently while retaining proper provision and control for the current generation. My practice has grown significantly in recent years to encompass specialist taxation and succession planning advice for landowners engaging in natural capital and BNG schemes.
