Emma Poynter

I advise individuals, family offices, entrepreneurs and trustees on UK and international tax matters. People come to me when they need clear, practical guidance on complex personal tax and trust issues, whether they are planning for the future, managing family wealth or making important financial decisions. My focus is on helping clients navigate complexity with confidence and providing advice that is tailored to client circumstances and long-term goals.

Over the past 20 years, I have built my career around developing trusted relationships and understanding what matters most to the people I work with. I enjoy working closely with clients and their wider team of advisers, including lawyers, bankers and trustees, to deliver joined-up solutions that are technically robust and commercially sensible. I believe the best outcomes come from collaboration, clear communication and taking the time to understand the bigger picture.

I am also one of our specialists in luxury assets, advising on the tax aspects of superyachts, private aircraft and art collections. A typical engagement might involve bringing together different advisers to help a family navigate complex cross-border tax and trust considerations, ensuring decisions are aligned with both their immediate priorities and long-term objectives. My clients value having a trusted adviser who takes a straightforward and personal approach to solving complex challenges.

Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our two daughters and two cats. I enjoy staying active on a countryside walk or heading out for a run. I also love travelling, discovering new places and baking for family and friends.
