Course description

Over the last decade family investment companies have become a regular feature in any estate planning strategy especially since HMRC have declared they are now ‘business as usual’.

Presented by Mills & Reeve's Deborah Clark and Katharine Watson, this full-day in-person course is designed for professional advisors who want to understand family investment companies and how they can help in a variety of situations.


It will explore every aspect of a family investment company structure and how they are used for estate planning purposes.
