Christine Cairns

Christine Cairns is a Partner at PwC, based in London, a private client tax adviser and funds specialist. She is distinguished by dual expertise in both fund and private client advisory, focusing on clients who have built wealth through private equity, venture capital and other financial services strategies. As these clients have accumulated wealth, her role has expanded to include tax reassessment and wealth structuring, particularly setting up family offices and creating family funds and investment offices. Her key specialisations include alternative investments, family offices, inheritance tax mitigation, private equity, venture capital and wealth structuring; her clients typically invest their own capital rather than managing third-party funds, requiring tailored structural and tax solutions.
