Malcolm has lived in the West Country all his life and after qualifying as a solicitor in 1981 he has worked at partner level in a number of leading firms in the area, as well as one of the ‘Big Four’ accountancy firms. This has given him extensive experience in all aspects of private client work, from more straightforward Wills and estate administration to specialist estate and tax planning.
