We are delighted that Sinclair Gibson's Private Wealth team has once again been recognised in Band 2 for Private Wealth Law in London in the Chambers High Net Worth 2026 guide. 

Our private client practice is at the heart of Sinclair Gibson, advising UK and international families, trustees, family offices and business owners on tax, trust, succession and estate planning matters. 

This year's guide recognises six members of our Private Wealth team individually, including Band 1 rankings for Keith Bruce-Smith and Lucy Gibson. 

We are particularly proud of the feedback received from clients and professional contacts, for example:

"Sinclair Gibson have excellent technical ability coupled with practical advice. They really do take time to 'read in' and understand all issues, be they trust, tax or personality driven." 

And:

"Sinclair Gibson are technically excellent. They know the relevant tax and trust law inside out. They are also really good at handling the client." 

The rankings also reflect the breadth of talent across the department, with recognition for:

• Keith Bruce-Smith – Band 1 – "Keith Bruce-Smith is one of the absolute greats in the industry and a privilege to work with." 
• Lucy Gibson – Band 1 – "Lucy is one of the top private client practitioners in the UK. She's absolutely excellent. She is technically brilliant and her judgement is great. She is trusted with big decisions." 
• Eleanor Walsh – Band 4 – "Eleanor's advice and planning is thorough. She achieves the clients' goals taking into account both current and future factors, while providing explanations at a level they understand."
• Hazel Power – Up and Coming – "Hazel is extremely practical and always on the ball. She has a great brain for retaining client facts and figures, and possesses the ability to retrieve these at will in the course of some very complicated discussions."  
• Oliver Bishop – Up and Coming – “Oliver is knowledgeable and much liked by clients. He has a great career ahead.”
