Katharina serves a diverse client base of individuals, family offices, and trustees with assets in multiple jurisdictions across Asia, the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and the UK.
Katharina is well-versed in matters of both common and civil law, allowing her to navigate a range of complex cross-border issues. Frequent matters include advising individuals and families relocating to, leaving, or with other interests in the UK on residency, remittance issues, inheritance and capital gains tax, restructuring of foreign assets, and related HMRC disclosures.
Katharina delivers a highly bespoke service, developing a profound understanding of each client's personal circumstances to structure the most efficient solutions for their requirements. She integrates her work seamlessly with financial and other advisors and aims to drive lasting consensus among all parties involved in a particular matter. By doing so, she mitigates the risk of future legal challenges and ensures that her advice is resilient across ever-adapting regulatory regimes. This ultimately allows clients to preserve their wealth for multiple generations.
In parallel to her core practice, Katharina serves in the Stephenson Harwood art law group.
