Mike Bell is a UK-based partner specialising in private wealth management and tax planning for high-net-worth clients. He studied Law and American Studies at Keele University before completing the LPC at The College of Law, Chester. Mike trained as a solicitor at a medium-sized law firm in Kent, ran his own law firm for several years, and moved to a London law firm in 2010.

Mike has a niche practice advising high-net-worth non-domiciled clients, primarily from the Middle East and Far East, on structuring UK property acquisitions to mitigate UK taxes. He provides UK tax and estate planning advice to non-domiciled clients, helping them determine the best structures to protect their wealth. Additionally, Mike works closely with high-net-worth UK-domiciled clients, particularly Mayfair and City professionals, to ensure their estates are safeguarded from inheritance tax and that clear, professional plans are in place to manage their wealth effectively for future generations.

Mike often collaborates with the firm’s Real Estate Teams, advising clients on structuring their property purchases. London’s property market continues to be viewed as safe, stable, and offering potential for strong capital growth. Whether a client is acquiring a Mayfair hotel, a two-bedroom apartment in Canary Wharf, or an eight-bedroom townhouse on High Street Kensington, Mike ensures both UK and international buyers receive tailored, detailed advice on owning these assets.
