Nick Warr, Head of Taylor Wessing's international Private wealth group, has been named as 'Tax and Trust Lawyer of the Year ' at the 2018 Spear's Wealth Management Awards.

Described as the 'Oscars of the private banking world', the awards, now in their twelfth year, celebrate the best individuals and firms for their innovation, success and outstanding contribution to the Private wealth industry.

The award recognises Nick's position as a recognised leader within the international wealth market and also celebrates his pioneering legal advice and entrepreneurship. In addition to being a Private client partner and building an international and highly sophisticated practice of his own, Nick founded and heads the firm's international Private wealth sector team which today is recognised as a market leader. The firm is one of only a handful that is able to provide high net worth individuals with a fully integrated legal service that addresses their business, investment and personal interests.

Nick comments:

"It's an honour to be given this award and I would like to thank all of those involved in the judging process. It's a pleasure to work in such a dynamic, fast paced sector and a privilege to be able to guide our clients through some of the most challenging issues they will face. I am very proud of the successes the team have achieved over the last decade and I look forward to the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead over the next ten years."

It is this dedication that sets Nick apart and is highlighted by both Legal 500 who describe him as having an ‘encyclopedic knowledge’ of fiscal and succession planning and ‘allied with this he has superb client skills' and by Chambers & Partners as 'encyclopaedic, charismatic and engaged'.
