Lucy Gibson

Lucy Gibson is a partner in the Private Client team at Sinclair Gibson and a private client trust and tax lawyer. She primarily advises wealthy private clients and trustees on the establishment and restructuring of family and charitable trusts for devolution purposes and tax mitigation. Her practice is broad, advising private clients and trustees, often internationally-based, on a variety of litigious and non-contentious matters including trust variations and compromise proceedings (both contested and consensual), trustee removal proceedings and contested wills.

Lucy is often asked to advise trustees in the context of claims against them or when they become involved, possibly unwillingly, in proceedings ancillary to divorce in London. She is frequently instructed by other solicitors and accountancy firms to give independent advice to particular family members or a specific beneficial class in complex trust and probate cases, and provides bespoke trust drafting services to a number of trust companies and financial institutions. She qualified in 1997 and has been consistently recognised as a leading individual in her field in Chambers & Partners.
