The team, led by Director, Michael Graham, is recognised as one of the largest specialist Private Client teams in Northern Ireland, consistently recognised in UK Legal Directories, Chambers and The Legal 500 as a leading practice. The Private Client team provide high quality specialist advice on wills & estates, trusts & tax planning, elderly clients & capacity, residential conveyancing, and family & matrimonial matters.
