Kieron Clement-Smith

I joined SRLV’s Private client division as a director in 2022 and was made a partner in 2025, after stints with Grant Thornton, Deloitte and Edwin Coe LLP, a central London law firm. I have substantial experience in providing tax advisory and complex tax compliance services to high net worth individuals, families, and their businesses, including those who are domiciled and/or resident outside the UK.

Clients benefit from my extensive knowledge of bespoke offshore and onshore tax planning, UK Inheritance Tax (IHT), trusts, Capital Gains Tax (CGT), tax residence and the rules for international new arrivals (including returning expatriates) and ‘long-term residents’ from overseas, as well as historic non-domiciles and remittance basis users.

I have a particular interest in advising families on succession, lifetime gifting, and IHT matters whether connected to inherited wealth or family businesses.  I am also regularly guiding clients through the tax impacts of acquiring, holding, re-structuring or disposing of high-value UK real estate, including considerations around the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED), Non-Resident CGT (NRCGT), Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), IHT exposure and the Non-Resident Landlord (NRL) regime.

Whether advising individuals, families, entrepreneurial businesses, or non-UK trust and company structures, our goal is to protect and enhance their wealth. I always have an eye on the big picture, pre-empting potential issues and monitoring legislative changes to ensure clients are best placed to protect their interests as well as capitalise on opportunities, often collaborating with the clients’ other advisers to ensure a holistic approach.

In this way, my team and I become integral to our clients’ decision-making; together we build strong, lasting relationships of trust and share our collective expertise for the best results.
