Deena Iqbal

Partner and Head of Private Client

Deena Iqbal TEP is a partner and head of our private client team.

I am a specialist in private wealth matters including probate, wills and estate planning, as well as trusts and powers of attorney. I work with clients with substantial assets portfolios, often spanning multiple jurisdictions.

  • I establish structures for the preservation of assets, often  working with entrepreneurs prior to, and after  the sale of their businesses.  I deal with wills and trusts, inheritance tax planning strategies, and succession planning for business owners. 
  • I  advise divorcees on family law related aspects of Wills, and I draft surrogacy  Wills, ensuring  intended parents can secure their intended children’s rights before a parental order is put in place.
  • I cover cross border issues and work with specialist lawyers and accountants in various jurisdictions to administer estates with assets situated around the world. 
  • I work to safeguard my clients’ interests and hold a STEP qualification in advising vulnerable clients.
