Private wealth specialist Ronnie Myers joins Stephenson Harwood as partner

Law firm Stephenson Harwood LLP has strengthened its global private wealth practice with the addition of Ronnie Myers. He joins as a partner, based in the firm's London office.

Ronnie has extensive experience advising ultra-high net worth (UHNW) and high net worth (HNW) individuals, financial institutions and international trust companies. His advice to individuals focuses on UK tax, structuring and trust advice, with a particular emphasis on those who are residents of the UK, but not UK domiciled. He supports on anything from personal taxation or planning in relation to personal assets and trusts, to succession planning and high value UK real estate structuring and taxation. Ronnie also has extensive experience advising international trust companies on the tax implications of their trust structures.

"Adding another lawyer of Ronnie's technical calibre to our team further signposts our private wealth practice as the go-to destination for private wealth clients" said Beatrice Puoti, head of private wealth, Stephenson Harwood. "I'm particularly delighted to be welcoming Ronnie to our team, having worked with him for many years at a previous firm – his technical skills are second to none, and his client-service is exceptional. His arrival cements further the next generation of top talent, who will take our private wealth practice from strength to strength."

"Since we identified private wealth as a strategic priority for the firm, we have been increasing our pool of talented lawyers across the sector," said Jenny McKeown, head of EPPIC (employment, pensions, private wealth, immigration and corporate tax). "Ronnie is the seventh lateral partner to join our international network of private wealth advisors in the last three years. His arrival, along with that of our other new partners, reflects our commitment to strengthening the team and continuing to deliver exceptional client support internationally in the private wealth sector."

The Stephenson Harwood multi-disciplinary global private wealth team advises individuals, their families, family offices, private banks and trustees globally on a wide range of contentious and non-contentious matters, with a particular focus on complex international structuring of their affairs, trusts, estates and personal assets, including family businesses and corporate structures.
