His addition to the partnership strengthens further our core area of expertise in line with our primary strategic ambitions.  Charles shares our vision for a discreet and personal approach to the delivery of first-rate legal advice.

“I am delighted to be joining the Private Client team at Sinclair Gibson, a firm whose reputation for excellence, integrity, and client‑focused advice is widely recognised across the profession. I look forward to contributing to the team’s outstanding work and to supporting our clients with clear, thoughtful, and pragmatic advice as they navigate some of life’s most important decisions. It is a privilege to be part of such a highly regarded practice, and I am excited for the opportunities ahead.”

"Sinclair Gibson’s team has the self-belief and the ability to make the bold, difficult advisory decisions others would shy away from. It has a very good team culture, work ethic and consistent delivery."
