About us

M T G

Maurice Turnor Gardner is a boutique private client law firm of top-tier lawyers based in London.

The firm has been offering its services since 1 May 2009 following the demerger of Allen & Overy LLP’s highly-rated Private Client Department.

We have experience of all the issues which affect wealthy individuals (and their families and trustees) and professional practices both in the UK and overseas. We seek to understand all the legal, commercial and tax issues affecting our clients and to provide them with principled and practical legal solutions, working in partnership with them as their trusted advisers.

Real Estate, Philanthropy and Charities and Immigration practices complement the firm’s traditional strengths in tax and estate planning and disputes relating to wealth.

“Extremely responsive, professional and a pleasure to work with… MTG works collaboratively, in the best interests of our client, at all times. In my years working with them I have seen the clear progression of individuals in their team, and they demonstrate incredible stability when it comes to client engagement.”

Our fee structure

Transparent and responsive

We recognise that our clients want transparency and a fee structure that helps them understand and control costs. Once we have established the client’s requirements and aims, we create a tailored fee proposal structured around their needs.

Where we are asked to help with a large, complex or lengthy project, we are happy to structure it in smaller and more manageable phases, and provide a fee estimate or budget for each phase. Once instructed, we monitor our costs and report regularly on budgeting as the matter progresses.

We are client focused and responsive and, where required, can monitor our costs against a client’s specific criteria. We issue invoices and report monthly, although we are happy to consider other arrangements which might be more suitable.

Progressive and practical

Maurice Turnor Gardner strives to adopt a progressive and practical approach to fee arrangements and where appropriate use alternative fee structures such as fixed fees and monthly retainers to align our own interests with those of our clients.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Our objective

We are committed to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and aim to have a positive impact on the communities in which we live and work and to the environment around us through a combination of pro bono legal advice, community action and charitable giving.

Our charitable activities

Each year we appoint a “charity of the year” which becomes the focus of the firm’s fundraising and sponsorship activities. Our charity committee develops various initiatives throughout the year in which all members of staff are encouraged to participate. Our current charity is The Lewis Marsh Memorial Fund for Cardiac Risk in the Young.
