How Sphere Supports Lawyers
At Sphere, we understand the complexities of managing various business scenarios. Our expertise enables us to support a collaborative approach that drives success.
We work closely with lawyers to advise on the tax compliance obligations of estates, ensuring that estate planning strategies are tax-effective and designed to reduce the tax impact on the estate while maximising benefits for beneficiaries. Our approach includes wealth transfer planning, helping clients develop clear plans for transferring wealth to the next generation or other beneficiaries in line with their wishes.
By prioritising open communication and respecting each other’s roles, we ensure that we provide valuable financial insights without overstepping into legal territory. Whether it’s structuring deals, transferring property, or ensuring compliance with all obligations, we collaborate with top-quality lawyers.
Imagine your client approaches you to purchase a new business. While you navigate the legal intricacies, we’re optimising the financial framework behind the scenes. Through an approach that integrates legal and financial considerations, we craft a strategy aligned with your client’s overarching goals. It’s not just about checking boxes; it’s about building a blueprint for long-term success.
