London-based law firm Farrer & Co has
appointed Jennifer Ridgway, a specialist in landed estates, tax,
and trusts, as a partner in the firm’s private client team.
Ridgway joins Farrer & Co from Michelmores where she was also a partner, the firm said in a statement.
She has a track record of advising ultra-high net worth individuals both in the UK and internationally. Ridgway combines this global outlook with expertise in advising trustees on matters regarding landed estates, as well as in advising families and individuals on issues such as trust, succession, and tax planning, the firm continued.
At Farrer & Co, she will strengthen the team’s offering, helping
clients with their complex and multi-faceted onshore and offshore
needs.
Welcoming her to the firm, Sarah von Schmidt, private client
partner at Farrer & Co, said: “Our clients’ needs are often set
against an international backdrop, meaning that our work
regularly crosses borders and jurisdictions. Jennifer has
cross-disciplinary technical expertise that plays to the
complexity of such work, and we are thrilled to have someone of
her reputation and standing in our team.”
Ridgway added: “I’m excited to support Farrer & Co in expanding
its international outlook and strategy, using my experience
working with trustees and families both in the UK and abroad to
help match the firm’s prestige in the UK and overseas.”
