James Wolfson

Consultant Solicitor

James has over thirty years' experience in tax, trusts and private client services, commencing in South Africa where he worked in the tax departments of two of the 'big four' accountancy firms, was associate director and tax specialist in a large commercial law firm and team leader in a private bank. Originally qualifying in South Africa as an Attorney, and obtaining post graduate qualifications in tax law, he later was admitted as a Solicitor of the Senior Courts of England and Wales.

He has thereafter gained international private client experience working offshore over 17 years, including 6 years in the Isle of Man working for private bank/trust companies, and 12 years in Jersey working in the trust industry. He joined Healys in 2014.

James specialises in co-ordinating multi-jurisdictional tax and estate planning for international private clients and their families (in particular those with UK connections) in order to preserve and allow free movement of their capital. The planning often involves the creation of offshore trusts, foundations, corporate entities and family office services, often structured to harmonise with clients' other wealth planning and commercial/entrepreneurial strategies.

James is recognised as a leading practitioner in his field, and has been ranked as a Top Recommended Tax Lawyer by the Spears 500 guide to the best private client advisors.
