The trio of advisors join from chartered accounting firm Rawlinson & Hunter.

UK-based investment manager Smith & Williamson has appointed Simon Jennings, Frances Jennings and Anita Millar-Neale to join its private client tax division.

The trio will join from chartered accounting firm Rawlinson & Hunter with Millar-Neale moving in May 2017, and Simon Jennings and Frances Jennings joining a month later.

Simon Jennings specialises in tax planning and wealth structuring for international families. He is a trusts specialist, and advises on the planning and administration of settlements. He also advises on issues of tax residence.

Frances Jennings specialises in providing tax and financial advice to private clients and their families. She has a interest in trusts, advising international families on the use of onshore and offshore trust structures for tax; family, philanthropic or commercial purposes.

Millar-Neale advises UK resident and non-resident individuals and family groups, non-domiciliaries, entrepreneurs, and non-UK resident trustees, with particular experience in advising sports professionals and artists. She deals with all aspects of UK tax compliance.

“By bringing on board this highly-respected team we are further extending our ability to advise non-UK domiciled clients, trusts and private clients more widely, said Joss Dalrymple, head of private clients, tax and business services division. “Our ability to attract three such respected figures in the private client space is a strong endorsement of our existing service offering and plans for growth. I look forward to working closely with Simon, Frances and Anita as we help our clients plan for their financial future.”
