Law firm JMW has launched a specialist offering aimed at catering to the needs of ultra high net worth individuals (UHNWI) and family offices.

The offering, JMW Signature, will be led by family law partner, Ruben Sinha, and will focus on both private and business issues.

It will be strategically aligned with teams at the firm that operate in the areas of tax and succession planning, trusts, foundations for family assets, corporate structures, real estate, and family law issues, alongside other areas where relevant clients need legal expertise.

The JMW Signature team will work with accountants, CSPs, private banks, and trustees to provide the capabilities and knowledge required to meet the needs of family offices and international families on the issues they face.

“Unlike many others in the legal industry, we are a truly full-service law firm so can deliver expert advice and guidance across multiple related sectors in an entirely seamless fashion,” said JMW head of business development, Stuart Cartwright.

Sinha, who joined JMW in 2022 and spent most of his career in family teams at international law firms in London and Hong Kong, said the firm had seen a substantial increase in instructions from UHNW and family office clients seeking strategies designed to protect their private wealth.

“In addition, Signature’s corporate and real estate experts are advising these clients on transformational business structures, including acquisitions, reorganisations, or exits,” Sinha continued.

“A full-service law firm providing highly specialised advice which is tailored to the unique needs of UHNW and family office clients is already proving to be a winning combination.”
