Multi-regional law firm, Higgs LLP’s Corporate Tax team, led by Susheel Gupta has advised owner-managed businesses on the transfer of more than £500 million in assets in the three months leading up to the end of the 2025/26 tax year.
This comes just ahead of significant changes to inheritance tax (IHT) and capital gains tax (CGT) which came into effect on 6 April 2026.
Driven by a mission to support owner managers and the people that build and run them, Susheel and his team supported on a wide range of transactions and restructuring projects across a broad mix of structures including trusts, personal investment companies and family investment companies, alongside succession planning, management buyouts, third-party exits and the use of Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs).
The scale and pace of activity ahead of the April deadline reflects both the significance of the tax changes and the importance of early, joined-up advice, paired with the confidence in the Higgs team to get the deal done with the client’s best interest in mind.
Higgs’ Corporate Tax team worked hand-in-hand with colleagues in the firm’s Corporate and Private Client teams, providing a seamless service and this collaborative approach ensured that clients received advice that balanced commercial, tax and personal interests.
As one of the largest specialist tax legal teams, and the only West Midlands Legal 500-ranked tax team outside of Birmingham, the team at Higgs continues to build its reputation for expert, practical advice delivered in a clear and people-driven way.
This latest achievement underlines the firm’s strength in depth and its ongoing commitment to supporting owner-managed businesses at every stage of their journey both business and personal.
