Co-owner and Partner | Solicitor | Trust and Estate Practitioner
Amanda Perrotton is a co-owner and partner at Bell Howley Perrotton LLP. A solicitor with almost 30 years’ experience and a Trust and Estate Practitioner, she specialises in stamp taxes and private client taxation, advising on complex property transactions, family wealth and succession planning.
She is regularly instructed by other professional advisers who need specialist advice on matters involving substantial assets, complex structures or significant tax risk. Her practice brings together specialist tax advice with legal analysis, helping clients understand both the immediate decision and its wider implications. She is also a lecturer, published contributor and host of BHP’s podcast, The Property Planet.
Specialist tax advice from a legal perspective
Amanda’s work sits at the intersection of tax, law and family wealth. Her focus is not simply the tax treatment of a transaction, but how it fits with the ownership arrangements, business structures and succession objectives behind it.
She advises where property and family interests overlap, where a proposed structure requires careful scrutiny, or where clients have received conflicting advice and need a clear assessment of their options. Her approach combines technical analysis with an understanding of what the client is trying to achieve.
Her principal areas of practice include:
