Philip is a lawyer and the Founder and Managing Director of Renaissance Legal, and one of the founding Directors of Renaissance Financial. He is a highly respected legal professional known for delivering transformative outcomes for older and vulnerable clients and their families, resolving complex challenges with empathy and precision.

As Founder and Managing Director of the award-winning firm Renaissance Legal, Philip has pioneered an innovative, holistic service model that integrates legal, financial, accountancy and welfare benefits advice, ensuring clients receive seamless, joined-up support. His transparent, client-first philosophy builds trust and prioritises long-term security and improved quality of life for every family the Renaissance companies work with.

 

At the heart of Philip’s work is a vision for joined-up, holistic support. His extensive expertise spans multi-generational wealth preservation, the implementation and management of legal structures to protect inheritances for disabled and vulnerable people, and the empowerment of individuals to make decisions for themselves wherever possible.

It is this vision that underpins Renaissance Financial’s role within the wider Renaissance family of companies, working alongside Renaissance Legal and Renaissance Trust so that families never have to navigate separate, disconnected advisers. While Philip does not advise Renaissance Financial clients directly, as a Director he is central to shaping that joined-up approach across all three firms.

Philip’s strengths are:

  • Delivering transformative outcomes for older and vulnerable clients and their families
  • Resolving complex private client legal matters with empathy and precision
  • Designing and implementing legal structures to protect inheritances for disabled and vulnerable people
  • Empowering clients to make their own decisions wherever possible
  • Building trust through a transparent, client-first philosophy
