In this episode Melanie is joined by a Family Law & Lattes alumni, Graeme Fraser, Partner and Head of Family at BBS Law in London.
During the pandemic many family law specialists found themselves with time to look at their lives, careers, and ultimately consider the changing landscape of family law. Over the last few years Graeme has written several thought provoking articles looking at the changes. Today I’ll be picking his brains about what he thinks are the topics to consider.

Anglo French Private Client Issues for Family Lawyers
Today Melanie Bataillard-Samuel is joined by Angharad Lynn, a partner in the private client team in the London offices of VWV.
Angharad is experienced at drafting Wills, administering Estates and also advises on trusts, inheritance tax planning and Lasting Powers of Attorney. She specialises in international work and cross-border estates (in particular France!) and speaks French, Italian and Welsh.
Before training as a solicitor Angharad was a national newspaper journalist specialising in personal finance, and her knowledge in this area provides a useful background to her current role. She enjoys writing on legal matters and has contributed to publications including the Mail on Sunday and the Spectator. She has also appeared on BBC Radio.
In this episode Angharad and I will be looking at the differences between English and French private client law, what pitfalls might appear and, most relevant for us family lawyers, what we need to be aware of.
