Winckworth Sherwood has appointed Charlie Hancock as private wealth and tax partner to strengthen its private client team.
Hancock has been named as a rising star by the Legal 500 and praised for his expertise across all areas of private client and tax work, including wills, trusts, probate, wealth transfer and philanthropy.
He joins Winckworth Sherwood from Forsters, bringing a strong track record in advising the owners of landed estates and with a client following including business owners and wealthy individuals and their families.
“It is a privilege to become a partner at Winckworth Sherwood,” Hancock said.
“Its private client firm is widely recognised for its technical expertise and acknowledged for its collegiate approach.”
Richard Tinham, managing partner at Winckworth Sherwood, added:
“We are delighted by Charlie’s decision to join the firm. We look forward to working alongside him as he continues to build his career.
“Winckworth Sherwood continues to build and invest in its private client and tax, residential property and trust and estates disputes teams. Demand for highly experienced and personalised support continues to grow.”
Hancock is a member of Society for Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP), Association of Contentious Trust and Probate Specialists (ACTAPS), and London branch member of Country Land and Business Association (CLA).
Last week, Winckworth Sherwood announced the appointment of Arcangelo D’Apolito as tax partner. D’Apolito is a dual qualified English and Italian lawyer who joined the firm from Italian law firm Macchi di Cellere Gangemi.
